<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" ><tr><td valign="top" style="font: inherit;">Hi all,<br><br>I have followed all the instructions for compiling and installing VTK 5.4.2 from source. CMake 2.6 was used to set the targets and I chose to BUILD_EXAMPLES and WRAP_TCL.<br><br>ALL_BUILD was built inside VS2008, no errors and subsequently INSTALL was built, also no errors. I set the lib and include folders into VS2008 VC++ Directories from the newly created CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX.<br><br>I have run Peter's minimal VTK C++ project at http://code.hkpeterpeter.googlepages.com/vtk_minimal.zip (who runs a site with help for people compiling VTK from source to C++), and I get a Windows error "Unable to Locate Component", in this case "vtkFiltering.dll was not found". Where are these dlls in the first place? Do I need to manually move them to the Windows/system32 folder?<br><br>Furthermore, my own VS2008 project has other issues with VTK. I #include
vtkImageReader.h (which by itself compiles fine) but when I instantiate it with vtkImageReader::New(), I get a fatal "unresolved external symbol" error**. What else do I need to include?<br><br>I tried #pragma comment(lib,"vtkIO.lib"), but that seems to send msvcprt.lib into disarray, stating that suddenly all the calls to stdlib and stdio functions in my program are "already defined", e.g. ***.<br><br>What is going on here? Have I not installed VTK properly? Any thoughts or questions on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks very much to all reading this long email.<br><br>Best regards,<br>Chris<br><br><br><br>** myclass.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "public: static class vtkImageReader * __cdecl vtkImageReader::New(void)" (?New@vtkImageReader@@SAPAV1@XZ) referenced in function "private: unsigned char * __thiscall myclass::loadRawFile(void)" (?loadRawFile@myclass@@AAEPAEXZ)<br><br><br>*** msvcprt.lib(MSVCP90.dll) : error LNK2005:
