<div><div dir="ltr">Hi All,<br><br>I have been using VTK (version 5) for some time. I downloaded and built the source as detailed on the website, and then I was able to link to the libraries and include the header files manually as I usually do for third party libraries. Everything worked fine.<br>
<br>I'm now on a new system so I downloaded, configured and built VTK 6.1.0. It built fine and I installed it to the specified directory. However, I then found it impossible to manually link my VS project to the libraries. To get around this I tried using CMake to generate a Visual Studio project but nothing I try seems to work. A number of permutations each seem to give different errors, either include errors or linking errors. Some won't even configure with CMake!<br>
<br>Could someone please explain, in clear steps how one goes about building and linking to VTK?<br><br>Thanks very much,<br>Dan<br><br>(I'm not a novice but after three days trying to sort this out I'm out of ideas!)<br>
