[Vxl-users] build problem

[Jim G. <jgreen@RobotVision.com>]

I'll try to be as detailed as possible.  I'm trying to build/install 
VXL on a AMD X2 4400+ chip box with 2GB RAM running Win2000 SP-4 (I 
have WinXP-64 but haven't had time to install it yet).  I have M$ 
visual studio 2005 (version 8) and CMake 2.4 patch 3 installed.

I try to run CMakeSetup.exe.  I specify D:\vxl\vxl-1.6 as $VXLSRC and 
D:\vxl\bin as $VXLBIN in the two places in CMake.  I press Configure 
and "Visual Studio 8 2005" appears in the "Build For" slot in a 
pop-up window (which is what I have installed on the box).  I press 
OK and CMake begins grinding, displaying a number of strings in the 
status bar at the bottom.  After several minutes, a number of options 
appear in red in the Cache Values window.  About 24 of these lines 
are "something-NOTFOUND" values, "something" being either LIBRARY, 
INCLUDE_DIR, INCLUDE_PATH, or some such string.  I click Confugure 
again without changing any values and the Cache Value items change to 
grey, but the NOT-FOUNDSs are still listed.  It pauses again and the 
OK button is now not greyed out.  I press OK and CMake finishes and 
the window dissapears.  Should I be concerned about these NOT-FOUND values?

I then check D:\vxl\bin and there are a bunch of files, but no 
vxl.dsw file.  There is a vxl.sin but no file with the .dsw 
extension.  There is no *.dsw file in the entire D:\vxl tree.  The 
"Installing the VXL 1.6 release" instructions clearly state that I 
should load the vxl.dsw file into visual studio.

I load the vxl.sin file as a project and it loads(!!??)  I then 
build=>build_all and visual studio grinds compiling and linking for a 
while, outputting thousands of lines in the Output window.  After 
about 10 minutes it finished with:

418>------ Build started: Project: ALL_BUILD, Configuration: Debug Win32 ------
418>Performing Post-Build Event...
418>"Build all projects"
418>Build log was saved at "file://d:\vxl\bin\ALL_BUILD.dir\Debug\BuildLog.htm"
418>ALL_BUILD - 0 error(s), 0 warning(s)
========== Build: 418 succeeded, 0 failed, 0 up-to-date, 0 skipped ==========

Apparently it built successfully, but the install instructions do not 
match what happened.

My question:  was this a successful build?  If so, why all the 
NOT-FOUND values in CMake?

Thanks, Jim Green
