[vtk-developers] vtk cvs and vfw.dll

[David Cole]

Actually, there is no *vfw32.dll* on my system either. Yet it works for 
me. I do have AVIFIL32.dll and using depends.exe, I see that this is the 
correct dependency added to vtkIO.dll by the addition of the vtkAVIWriter.

Luca, can you use "depends.exe" and post the list of dependent dll's of 
vtkIO here. Apparently, vfw32.lib pulls in dependencies to DLL's with 
*other* names. There must be something else going on here...
