[vtkusers] Re: Win2000, VC++, different calling convention

[Nigel Nunn]

First thing is to make sure that both the Vtk libs and 
your .exe application are linking with the same CRT 
(C RunTime) library -- 
 
Under Project Settings;  C/C++ ; Code Generation 
in the field "Use run-time library:", choose 

   [Debug] Multithreaded DLL 
 
More importantly, Vtk still defaults to compiling and linking 
with the old iostreams library.  If your application is using 
the Std C++ library, you will be mixing old and new versions, 
e.g., 
 
 std::iostream from <iostream> from MFC app. 
 iostream from <iostream.h> from vtk libs. 
 
If this is the case, then either rebuild the app with the 
old iostreams library, or rebuild the vtk libs with the flag, 
 
  VTK_USE_ANSI_STDLIB 
 
If you choose to rebuild Vtk with ANSI C++ iostreams and 
exception handling, then you will also need to adjust the 
VC project's compiler options:  add the option [somewhere] 
 
  Zm1000 
 
to request 10 times normal more compiler memory.  The 
following comes from earlier advice from Kitware folks:
