[vtk-developers] Problems installing VTK

Hello,

Many thanks, but as I'm new ti VTK I don't know which libraries to
load.  However, in looking at:

 http://www.vtk.org/Wiki/VTK/Examples/Java/Miscellaneous/Cone6

which has similar code.  The statement:

System.loadLibrary("vtkCommonJava");

doesn't load as there is no dll with that name in the folder
C:\VTK\bin\Release, but:

System.loadLibrary("vtkCommonCoreJava");

does load correctly as there is a dll with that name.  This applies to
a few other files, but not all of them.  Without the required dlls
loaded, even if no errors are produced, the code will not execute.

If I go back to the original code when I try and load everything, then
I get the error message:

java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError:
C:\VTK\bin\Release\vtkChartsCoreJava.dll: Can't find dependent
libraries

The file vtkChartsCoreJava.dll is present in that folder, so it is
loaded, but its dependencies cannot be found.  This applies to quite a
few other dll files with dependencies, and I also get a list of a
large number files that were not loaded from the statement:

if (!lib.IsLoaded()) System.out.println(lib.GetLibraryName() + " not loaded");

inside the for-loop in an earlier message.

It looks that without these large number of files, possibly all of
them, that have not been loaded the code will not work, even if I skip
over the bad loads or put the loop in a try-catch loop.  This must
have something to do with the error message in the log during the
build process with Visual Studio Pro 2010 I did a few days ago.

I don't fully understand the log, but the section where it failed is here:

112>Link:
112>     Creating library C:/VTK/lib/Release/vtkRenderingCoreJava.lib
and object C:/VTK/lib/Release/vtkRenderingCoreJava.exp
114>  vtkDepthPeeling_fs.cxx
114>  vtkGaussianBlurPassShader_fs.cxx
114>  vtkLighting_s.cxx
114>  vtkLightingHelper_s.cxx
114>  vtkOpenGLRenderer_PeelingFS.cxx
114>  vtkOpenGLPropertyDefaultPropFunc_fs.cxx
114>  vtkOpenGLPropertyDefaultPropFunc_vs.cxx
112>vtkRenderWindowJava.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external

114>  vtkOpenGLPropertyDefaultMain_fs.cxx
112>
112>Build FAILED.
112>
112>Time Elapsed 00:01:32.30

Obviously vtkRenderingCoreJava.dll failed to link, which must be the
cause of the problems I'm having.  This was the only failure, with the
other 387 compilations and linking successful.  If this problem can be
fixed, I hope I will be home and dry.

I would most appreciate you or someone else kindly getting this resolved.
