[Paraview-developers] vtkRenderingFreeType error

[thomasblome at startmail.com]

Hi,

I'm trying to build paraview from source. For this I'm using:

Windows 10
Visual Studio 2015
CMake 3.6.1
paraview 5.1.2
Qt 5.7
msmpi 7.1

I downloaded the source code of paraview from 
http://www.paraview.org/download/ and generated the project in CMake.
Every time I switch on BUILD_EXAMPLES, I get the following error 
messages in VS:

Error    LNK2001    unresolved external symbol "void __cdecl 
vtkRenderingFreeType_AutoInit_Construct(void)" 
(?vtkRenderingFreeType_AutoInit_Construct@@YAXXZ) 
[C:\Kitware\ParaView-v5.1.0\bin\Examples\All\Plugins\Autostart\Autostart.vcxproj]   
 ParaViewExamples   
 C:\Kitware\ParaView-v5.1.0\bin\Autostart_Plugin.obj    1   

Error    LNK2019    unresolved external symbol "void __cdecl 
vtkRenderingFreeType_AutoInit_Construct(void)"

function "public: __cdecl 
vtkRenderingCore_AutoInit::vtkRenderingCore_AutoInit(void)"

 ParaViewExamples   
 C:\Kitware\ParaView-v5.1.0\bin\pqMyApplicationStarterImplementation.obj   
 1   

I found the same problem already mentioned here:
http://public.kitware.com/pipermail/paraview-developers/2015-November/004094.html,
so I added the command "target_link_libraries(paraview LINK_PRIVATE 
vtkRenderingFreeType)" to the CMake file located in 
C:\Kitware\ParaView-v5.1.2\Applications\ParaView - right after the 
"build_paraview_client()" macro, but I keep running into the same 
error.

I also tried the build on another system (windows 7, Visual Studio 
2010, Qt 4.8.7), but to no avail.
By the way, I wonder why the ParaviewExamples project in VS doesn't 
contain neither source nor header files. Is that project properly 
generated by CMake?

Thanks in advance!
