[vtkusers] lib or dll?

[Paul]

Here's a link that describes changes to vtkwin32header to build a vtk as a
static lib.

  thank you for your help but it did not work, it looks like the header
force to do a dynamic link?!

  if you look in vtkwin32header.h:

  it include vtkconfigure.h which has:

  #define BUILD_SHARED_LIBS
  #ifdef BUILD_SHARED_LIBS
  #define VTKDLL
  #else
  #define VTKSTATIC
  #endif

  then back to vtkwin32header.h:

  #if defined(WIN32) && !defined(VTKSTATIC)
   #define VTK_EXPORT __declspec( dllexport )
  ........

  #else

   #define VTK_COMMON_EXPORT
  ......

  so, I don't know which these are doing there? even if I comment out the
BUILD_SHARED_LIBS and leave VTK_STATIC, it still search for dll (I did
rename vtkcommon.dll to vtkcommon2.dll to test that).

  Anyways, that's not my main problem, but if it could be solve, I would
appreciate any help!
  thank you.

    Serge,
    Try this:

    In the menus go Tools->Options->Show directories for:"Library Files" and
add the directory path to the libs.

    Now go Project->Settings, click the Link Tab and type in the name of
each *.lib that is in the directory path you added above (except the Python
libs of course)

    You can also use CMake to have a project generated for you
auto-magically. Joseph

      Hi,

      When using vc 6.0 under windows, I create a simple project, add an
example picked from the examples directory, add all the static library
(*.lib), then run it and the application ask for dll!? how come? how can I
link statically without using the dll's?
