Some of these try-compile tests end up failing if your path name is too

You may start to run into trouble with path names as short as 100
characters
long or so, believe it or not because of the way some of the relative paths
are constructed for use by the CMake/Visual Studio combination... Try using
"C:\VTKbuild" or something similarly short as the root of your build tree.
I'll try this, but my build path seems short enough:
D:\rei\vtk-5.0.2\VS
I think the try compiles are failing, because the programs fail to run
properly due to some msvcr80.dll (manifests) issue. I can see in the
output that the files built fine, but the run result is a string of
garbled characters.

I'm trying to build VTK 5.0.2 with Visual Studio 2005 Express Edition.
I need to build libraries in order to make some plugins for another
application. I'm also using CMake 2.4.3 on WinXP.
I've been able to build other things with VS 2005 IDE. In fact, I can
build another open source package teem (http://teem.sourceforge.net)
with CMake using VS 2005 IDE and nmake (which needed a hack to include
Windows SDK includes).
I tried following these instructions with no success.

If I use the Visual Studio 8 generator the configure fails when checking
the endianness of the machine. This may be because of the msvcr80.dll
and manifest issue. I haven't been able to find much information on the
mailing lists about this.
The nmake generator completes, but complains about manifests. If I
restart the build it seems to get further.

Perhaps there is a wrong dependency chain? It did seem to build after I
restarted nmake 30 times or so.
Thanks,
