[Paraview] compilation error

[Rakesh Hammond]

Hmm, sounds far too complicated !

Would it be a crime just to extend from a VTK class instead but not make any
use of the methods within the superclass?

I was wondering if I could do something similar to the example shown on the
wiki
http://paraview.org/Wiki/Plugin_Examples

That aside, what is the meaning of VTK_EXPORT in the definition below?

class VTK_EXPORT vtkMyFancyReader : public vtkMultiBlockDataSetAlgorithm

I also see VTK_FILTERING_EXPORT

Thanks,
Rakesh
