[Paraview-developers] building paraview with examples - getting LNK2019 & LNK2001 errors - vtkRenderingFreeType

[Joachim Pouderoux]

I have the same problem here on VS2012 (don't think it is related to the VS
version anyway).
As a quick fix you can add, in the CMakeLists.txt file, just after the call
to build_paraview_client() macro:

target_link_libraries(*paraview_application_target_name*
vtkRenderingFreeType)
