[Insight-users] Patented Code does not compile and install

[Luis Ibanez]

Hi Jim,

Thanks for posting your VTK CMakeCache.txt file.


It looks fine.

At this point there are two thing that you want
to verify:

1) Go to the binary directory where you build VTK
    and check if the vtkPatented.dll is in there.
    Since you build it for RelWithDebInfo you will
    find it in a subdirectory   bin/RelWithDebInfo.


2) Then check the PATH environment variable in
    your system and make sure that in includes the
    directory where you just found the vtkPatented.dll
    file. DLLs must be in a directory in the PATH or
    they must be in the same directory as your executable.


If you are using WindowsXP you can set this path
by going to "My Computer" -> Properties -> Advanced.



Please let us know what you find.


    Thanks


      Luis
