perhaps you should explain us what exactly the problem is, that you are 
referring to...

compiling problem?
linker problem?

point set reading problem?
dicom file writing problem?

if you mean the last thing:
the dicom file format needs a large number of meta data information, in 
my experience it requires care to set up the meta information that you 
need for writing dicom

in your code i can nowhere see the meta information specification
normally one would take a dicom input image, store the meta information 
and give it to the dicom writer again before writing (see the examples 
and the software guide for a more thorough explanation)
since you are not reading a dicom image you will have to create your own 
dicom meta information object...
i'd suggest storing your image in a different volume data format, since 
it is not really dicom information (which essentially is volume data 
plus patient information)
