[Vv] Compiling src of VV - almost successful

[Simon Rit]

Hi Michal,
I have compiled the same sources with the same compiler / OS so it
should work. Answers:
1 - For ggo, yes, it's correct. We have used the wrong cmake command
to locate the executable and you actually have to provide the path of
the containing folder and not the path of the program. Easily fixable
but todo...
For the compilation problem, it looks like you have not compiled itk
in release mode. You need to compile itk and vtk in release mode to
compile vv in release mode.
2 - I have seen this problem before and this is one of these ms
mysteries to me. In cmake, I have added /bigobj in the CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS
(as suggested by the error message) and it works fine.
3 - I guess it comes down to the same thing. Opening the solution
opens msvc++ which is (among other things) an editor for your source
files.
Good luck and don't hesitate to shoot more questions.
Simon
