<div>VTK does build Ok with VC8.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>The unresolved external symbols may be due to older versions of the libraries being present. </div>
<div>Sometimes the dependencies or build process gets a little confused and doesn't rebuild some libraries. That's what I think!</div>
<div>This has happened to me in both Vusial Studion and Linux.</div>
<div>I have often found that it is best to completely delete everything in the build directory and run CMake again.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Failing this, update VTK from the CVS. If that fails, update CMake from the CVS.</div>

<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="PADDING-LEFT: 1ex; MARGIN: 0px 0px 0px 0.8ex; BORDER-LEFT: #ccc 1px solid">Hello,<br><br>I have been trying to build the SDI example of VTK 5.1 using Visual<br>Studio 2005 (MFC 8). Everything compiles fine but I get linker errors.
<br> I have the following project properties:<br><br>Additional library directories: C:\Build\VTKVC\bin\relwithdebinfo<br><br>Additional dependencies: vtkCommon.lib vtkexpat.lib vtkFiltering.lib<br>vtkfreetype.lib vtkftgl.lib

<br><br>And I'm still getting lots of unresolved externals, such as:<br><br>vtkIO.lib(vtkXMLUtilities.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved external<br>symbol __imp___invalid_parameter_noinfo<br>vtkFiltering.lib(vtkPiecewiseFunction.obj

<br><br>I have seen many posts with similar linker problems but each one seems<br>to be when libraries weren't properly linked. As far as I can tell I've<br>done this yet still have these problems.<br><br>Has anyone got VTK
5.1 compiled and running using MSVC++ 2005?<br><br>Patrick<br><br><br><br>-- <br><br>___________________________________________<br>Andrew J. P. Maclean<br>Centre for Autonomous Systems<br>The Rose Street Building J04<br>
