[vtkusers] getting started...

[bob green]

Hello..........

I am a newbie at VTK....

I am programming using VC++ 6.0 on WinXP and I believe I have downloaded 
most of the necessary files already off of the vtk home page...

So one of the zip files I downloaded off their page contains the 'vtk42' 
folder, in which there is a folder called 'Examples' in which there is 
another folder called 'Tutorial' in which there are several examples going 
from most basic to more advanced in more folders called 'Step 1', 'Step 2' 
etc...

So many of you may have run into this when you were getting started...

So I tried running the Cone.cxx file they provide in 'Step 1' but I get the 
following link errors:

Cone.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "__declspec(dllimport) 
public: void __thiscall vtkCamera::Azimuth(double)"

Debug/Cone.exe : fatal error LNK1120: 10 unresolved externals

Error executing link.exe.

So as you can tell.. I am really a newbie... but if someone could help me 
with my silly question then that would be just great................!  I 
just need a push start..!!  Also, I don't have the books they suggest for 
learning VTK.. can anyone recommend any good sites or anything from where I 
can learn..??

Thanks a million...
