<div style="direction: ltr;font-family: Tahoma;color: #000000;font-size: 10pt;">You definitely want to use cmake. It makes the task very easy.<br>
<br>
Here is the contents of CMakeLists.txt to build a simple program:<br>
<br>
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.8)<br>
PROJECT(TensorGlyph)<br>
find_package(VTK REQUIRED)<br>
include(${VTK_USE_FILE})<br>
add_executable(TensorGlyph TensorGlyph.cxx)<br>
target_link_libraries(TensorGlyph ${VTK_LIBRARIES})<br>
<br>
You will generate the VS project files by a command like this (in the directory that holds CMakeLists.txt):<br>
<br>
cmake -G "Visual Studio 2013"<br>
<br>
I initially resisted using cmake when I started working with ITK and VTK, but I quickly came to see the error of my ways. Everybody will give you the same advice.<br>
