[Insight-users] VolView Plugins - Problems compiling the available sources

Tue Apr 4 11:36:11 EDT 2006

Hello,

I have installed VolView 2.0 and would like to create my own Plugins. To
make sure I understand the process and that everything works I started
compiling the available sources and ran into some problems.

I downloaded a ZIP file containing the source and CMAKE list for 34 plugins.
I "run" CMAKE on this directory and let it create a VisualStudio project in:
d:\CppProjects\VolViewPlugins\original_compiled_from_zip\
This works fine. I then open "VolViewPlugins.sln" and select "Build
Solution". For each of the 34 Plugins it reports:

Compiling...
vvITKAntiAlias.cxx
Linking...
   Creating library Debug\vvITKAntiAlias.lib and object
Debug\vvITKAntiAlias.exp
Performing Post-Build Event...
Error copying file "/Debug/vvITKAntiAlias.dll" to "C:/Program
Files/VolView20/Debug/Plugins/vvITKAntiAlias.dll".
Project : error PRJ0019: A tool returned an error code from "Performing
Post-Build Event..."

Build log was saved at
"file://d:\CppProjects\VolViewPlugins\original_compiled_from_zip\vvITKAntiAl
ias.dir\Debug\BuildLog.htm"
vvITKAntiAlias - 1 error(s), 0 warning(s)

---------------------- Done ----------------------

    Build: 0 succeeded, 1 failed, 0 skipped

So it comes up with an error message for every Plugin.
The other thing I don't understand is that in:
D:\CppProjects\VolViewPlugins\original_compiled_from_zip

It creates a folder ../debug containing:
vvITKAntiAlias.dll
vvITKAntiAlias.exp
vvitkantialias.idb
vvITKAntiAlias.ilk
vvITKAntiAlias.lib
vvitkantialias.pdb
But is also creates a folder ../vvITKAntiAlias.dir/Debug containing only:
BuildLog.htm
vvITKAntiAlias.obj

There is no .exp or .dll file in this folder and so I guess it can't get
copied to C:/Program Files...

Can anybody shed some light on the error message from VS and the directory
structure?

Below I paste the complete build Log from Visual Studio.

I use ITK 2.4, VolView 2.0, VisualStudio 7.1.

Thanks for your help!
