<div><div>? <br></div>
<div>No, I am not. <br></div>
<div>Building the VTK project, including header files, and linking the shared libs should be sufficient, should it not, as is the case with any other 3rd party library. I don't think that I should have to learn how to write CMake just to use, as opposed to develop, VTK, as VTK one of many 3rd party library tools that we use.<br></div>

<div>If not, are you defining the autoinit macros before including VTK header files, as discussed here?<br></div>

<div>Thank you for the link. <br></div>
<div> </div>
<div>Yes, that was the bit of info that I did manage to find.<br></div>
<div> </div>
<div>I have the following <br></div>
<div> </div>
<div>#include <vtkAutoInit.h><br></div>
<div>VTK_MODULE_INIT(vtkRenderingOpenGL2);<br></div>
<div>VTK_MODULE_INIT(vtkInteractionStyle);<br></div>
<div> </div>
<div>in stdafx.h<br></div>
<div> </div>
<div>which generated the two link errors listed below.<br></div>
<div> </div>
<div>Adding<br></div>
<div> </div>
<div>VTK_MODULE_INIT(vtkRenderingFreeType);<br></div>
<div>VTK_MODULE_INIT(vtkRenderingFreeTypeOpenGL2);<br></div>
<div>VTK_MODULE_INIT(vtkRenderingVolumeOpenGL2);<br></div>
<div> </div>
<div>only generates new link error messages of the type<br></div>
<div> </div>
<div>1>stdafx.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "void __cdecl vtkRenderingFreeTypeOpenGL2_AutoInit_Construct(void)" (?vtkRenderingFreeTypeOpenGL2_AutoInit_Construct@@YAXXZ) referenced in function "public: __cdecl vtkRenderingFreeTypeOpenGL2_ModuleInit::vtkRenderingFreeTypeOpenGL2_ModuleInit(void)" (??0vtkRenderingFreeTypeOpenGL2_ModuleInit@@QEAA@XZ)<br></div>
<div> </div>
<div>There is also the CMake switch<br></div>
<div> </div>
<div>VTK</div>
<div>VTK_MAKE_INSTANTIATORS [On or Off]<br></div>
<div> </div>
<div>However, turning this on or off does not change the linking problem.<br></div>
<div> </div>
<div>Regarding the last comment by the author of the Wiki note, I am linking to all libs generated by VTK, with as many as possible to be removed later, yet still receiving this error message.<br></div>
<div> </div>
<div>If there additional unique vtk-specific code that one needs to add, above and beyond the standard C++ setup, in order to use vtk, I think that it is reasonable that these steps be documented.<br></div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thank you.<br></div>

<div>Have included all created vtk libs and dlls in the project, so puzzled as to why these external vtk symbols have not been resolved.<br></div>
