I added only path to the "c:\Program > Files\simspark\lib\rcssserver3d\" and "c:\Program > Files\simspark\lib\simspark\" .

Default is C:\Program Files\simspark or C:\Program Files\rcssserver3d . You can easy change it during create project with cmake: cmake -G "Visual Studio 9 2008" "c:\simspark\trunk\spark" -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=C:\whatever . Or if you like GUI, run CMakeSetup.exe and change it there. > > 2.
