<p>Hi all,</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>I'm trying to build VTK with Python (and PyQt as well). After some time I was able to do it successfully on VTK5.10, but the same procedure does not work for VTK6.2 (as I couldn't find the setup.py script).</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>The error I'm getting is when running python from Command Prompt and typing "import vtk". I get an error saying:</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>which is probably caused by not running setup.py or some other detail that I missed.<br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>It may be important to note that I'm working in a Windows 7 with Visual Studio 2012, PyQt4, and Qt4. Also, running vtkpython works.<br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>I do realize there are binaries for doing this, but I want to build VTK from source. So what I would like to ask is:</p>
<p><strong>Is there a tutorial or a set of instructions on how to build VTK6 with Python properly (in Windows)? If not, what are the differences between building Python with VTK5.10 and VTK6?</strong></p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Regards,</p>
<p>Nicole</p></div></div></blockquote></div></div></div>
