If you are really using the official DCMTK version 3.5.4 (which has been released end of 2005), you should be warned that this release has never been tested with Windows (64 bit) or VisualStudio 2008 ... You should probably first try, whether the current snapshot compiles (at least it should be easier).

Btw, compiling "mkdeftag.cxx" on a Windows system has also never been tested, and this file should also not be included in any of the CMake project files.

Hmm strange, if I compile the original dmctk-3.5.4 it works (even with Win64/MSVS 2008). So I think Siemens changed something when releasing it together with XIP.

Thanks anyway, David
