What version of VTK are you using? CVS HEAD should have full 64-bit support. We run a nightly dashboard on that configuration using Visual Studio 2005 and all the tests pass today: <a href="http://www.cdash.org/CDash/viewTest.php?buildid=62786">http://www.cdash.org/CDash/viewTest.php?buildid=62786</a><br>
<br>Are you choosing the "Win64" variant of the generator in CMake?<br><br>If you are using VTK 5.0.x, I would recommend upgrading to the CVS HEAD of VTK for 64-bit builds.<br><div class="gmail_quote"><br>HTH,<br>

<div>Hi </div>
<div> </div>
<div></div>
<div>I'm trying to compile VTK in 64 bit mode. </div>
<div> </div>
<div></div>
<div>I'm able to get the 32 bit libs going OK, but when I use the 64 bit profile in cmake with visual studio 2008 with cmake 2.4.8 I get the following error when I select build Solution </div>
<div> </div>
<div></div>
<div></div>
<div></div>
<div>vtk\common\vtkType.h(162) : fatal error C1189: #error : "No native data type can represent an 8-bit integer." </div>
<div></div>
<div></div>
<div></div>
<div> </div>
<div>I am using a NTFS partition.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>My OS is Vista x64 with SP1</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Has anyone succeeded in building VTK with this configuration?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>thanks</div>
<div> </div>
