Using: UPDATE_COMMAND ""
is perfectly correct, and is working as intended. You should see text like this in your output, which verifies that UPDATE_COMMAND "" is working: 1> No update step for 'SAF-ext' 1> No patch step for 'SAF-ext' However, this seems to be some sort of "Visual Studio 10"-only problem... I have reproduced your problem with Visual Studio 10, but do not see the same problem when using Visual Studio 9. Attached to this new bug regarding this thread is a smaller project (smaller than ITK == not hard to do) that demonstrates the issue if anybody else wants to try it out: http://public.kitware.com/Bug/view.php?id=11927 Thanks for the report, David On Fri, Mar 4, 2011 at 4:06 AM, Yves Martelli <ymarte...@cistib.upf.edu>wrote: > Dear All, > > Sorry to repost but I am still stuck with this, would anyone have > suggestions?
