Eliminate annoying IDE popup

If you are compiling with the IDE and keep getting a popup along the lines of "improve microsoft visual studio performance" Either

• To hide on XP or 2003 Server, right-click on the Task Bar | Select Properties | Select Taskbar tab | select Hide inactive icons | Click Customize | Set the Behavior for item "Improve Microsoft Visual Studio" to "Always hide".

Or

• Follow the registry edit instructions just before "Was this information helpful?" at this link http://support.microsoft.com/kb/981741

Note: This second method did not work for me.

Bad variables

I also ended up with bad variables in the CMake cache (some probably related to the above) and I needed to edit build-vc100\CMakeCache.txt. They including DUSE_KDU, DINPUT_LIBRARY, DIRECTX_INCLUDE_DIR, DIRECTX_LIBRARY_DIR, and DXGUID_LIBRARY. Celierra Darling 14:41, 22 April 2011 (PDT)

Moving this here since it looks like they changed some things to address this so that autobuild configure will download the right things:

• If Cmake/Autobuild attempts to download FMOD and can't, one can turn off FMOD by adding two dashes (--), and then the extra configuration option -DFMOD:BOOL=FALSE. Similarly, if it attempts to download KDU and can't, try adding -DINSTALL_PROPRIETARY:BOOL=FALSE -DUSE_KDU:BOOL=FALSE after those dashes.

  For example, autobuild configure -- -DFMOD:BOOL=FALSE -DINSTALL_PROPRIETARY:BOOL=FALSE -DUSE_KDU:BOOL=FALSE

I'm also moving this comment from the "Iteratively fix things until the compile succeeds" section since it looks like it's been there since the first revision of the page without resolution: ((TBD - add any fixup steps here. e.g. does fmod375.dll need to be moved into RelWithDbgInfo at this step?))
