Compile SOViewer

    Run CMake and select the $LibDir/SOViewer directory as 'Where is the source code'

    Be sure that 'Visual Studio 6' is selected.
    Check 'Show Advanced Values'

   Click on Configure, CMake will ask you to create the SOViewer-VC++ folder

  Put setup parameters exactly like that:
- BUILD_DOXYGEN = OFF
- BUILD_TESTING = OFF
- GLUT_INCLUDE_DIR = $LibDir/Glut-3.7.6/Include
- GLUT_glut_LIBRARY = $LibDir/Glut-3.7.6/Lib/glut32.lib
- USE_FLTK = ON
- USE_QT = ON
- USE_VTK = ON

    Click one again on 'Configure', You will have to Specify FLTK include and Fluid executable path.

QT binary path should be automatically detected, otherwise just specify the $LibDir/Qt directory.

  Click one again on 'Configure', You will have to Specify FLTK libraries path.

   Click one again on 'Configure' and then click on 'OK'. This will generate a Visual C++ project (*.dsw) in $LibDir/SOViewer-VC++.

   Launch $LibDir/SOViewer-VC++/SOV.dsw and compile in RelWithDebInfo mode.
To do that, right click on the menu and check 'Build', you can also uncheck 'Build MiniBar'.
