[Insight-users] [vtkusers] LNK2019 error when compiling project with ITK and VTK

[Luis Ibanez]

Hi Michal,


You are missing to link to the library

                        ITKBasicFilters


In general, whenever you get a link error about missing
symbols, you could try greping for that symbol in the
source tree of the toolkit (that's the beauty of open source).

In this case, if you grep for the symbol with the command:

               grep -lr GetCallbackUserData *

you will get:

Code/BasicFilters/itkVTKImageExportBase.h
Code/BasicFilters/itkVTKImageExportBase.cxx
Wrapping/WrapITK/ExternalProjects/ItkVtkGlue/src/itkVTKImageToImageFilter.txx
Wrapping/WrapITK/ExternalProjects/ItkVtkGlue/src/itkImageToVTKImageFilter.txx


you can discard the hits in the Wrapping directory
(unless you are doing wrapping, of course).


So you are left with a .cxx file in the directory

             Code/BasicFilters

If you then open the CMakeLists.txt file and search
for "itkVTKImageExportBase.cxx" you will find it in
the line:

ADD_LIBRARY(ITKBasicFilters itkVTKImageExportBase.cxx)

Which states the the itkVTKImageExportBase.cxx will be
used to create the library "ITKBasicFilters".


Therefore,...
you can resolve the missing symbol by adding

                    ITKBasicFilters

to your list of libraries to link against.
