[vtkusers] VTK linking problem

Wed Jul 2 18:32:28 EDT 2003

hi all

does anybody uses KDevelop and VTK?
if yes please could you please tell me which .h and lib files should I 
link with the compiler
and how:

c++ compiler clags (CXXFLAGS):  under project options->compiler options 
->flags and warnings->CXXFLAGS

currently I am using:
-I/home/christos/VIVE02/vtk/VTK-4.2.2/vtkBin
 -I/home/christos/VIVE02/vtk/VTK-4.2.2/Common
 -I/home/christos/VIVE02/vtk/VTK-4.2.2/Filtering
 -I/home/christos/VIVE02/vtk/VTK-4.2.2/Graphics
 -I/home/christos/VIVE02/vtk/VTK-4.2.2/Hybrid
 -I/home/christos/VIVE02/vtk/VTK-4.2.2/Imaging
 -I/home/christos/VIVE02/vtk/VTK-4.2.2/IO
-I/home/christos/VIVE02/vtk/VTK-4.2.2/Parallel
 -I/home/christos/VIVE02/vtk/VTK-4.2.2/Patented
 -I/home/christos/VIVE02/vtk/VTK-4.2.2/Rendering
 -L/home/christos/VIVE02/vtk/VTK-4.2.2/vtkBin/lib
-Wno-deprecated

I ve also installed the rpm version and tried -I/usr/include/vtk 
-L/usr/lib/vtk

I am getting these undefined errors:

/home/christos/VIVE02/project/asm_3d/asm_3d/main.cpp:44: undefined 
reference to `vtkPoints::New()'
main.o(.text+0x9b):/home/christos/VIVE02/project/asm_3d/asm_3d/main.cpp:51: 
undefined reference to `vtkQuad::New()'
main.o(.text+0x10f):/home/christos/VIVE02/project/asm_3d/asm_3d/main.cpp:57: 
undefined reference to `vtkUnstructuredGrid::New()'
main.o(.text+0x167):/home/christos/VIVE02/project/asm_3d/asm_3d/main.cpp:61: 
undefined reference to `vtkUnstructuredGrid::InsertNextCell(int, 
vtkIdList*)'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

and I dont know what else to try and get rid of them

the weird think is that if i write
vtkPoints something;  //it works
vtkPoints forNothing = vtkPoints::New(); // it doesn't
and:
vtkUnstructuredGrid->Allocate(x,y); //works
vtkUnstructuredGrid->InsertNextCell(foo,bar); //returned undefined 
method, collect2: ld returned 1 exit status.
both are in the same .h file, why is this happening...

I would be greatfull for somehelp for setting up vtk with kdevelop
thanks very much

Subject: [vtkusers] HELP! VTK & LINUX

guys is there any problem with vtk linking in linux?

I installed the rpm nightly release as I thought i did something wrong 
in the compilation of the src files (which I had the same problem that I 
have with the rpm build). All headers were placed in /usr/include/vtk. I 
linked the complier (I use KDevelop) to include this directory (-I 
/usr/include/vtk) and I STILL have errors about _undefined methods._
I try to compile and run the sphere example shown in 
http://www.vtk.org/example-code.php (which is supposed to show 
functionality of VTK and I assume its tested) however I get all these 
errors:

I saw also this msg posted in a bulleting board:

  GCC "Name Mangling" Prevent from Linking?

(http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-help/2002-04/msg00124.html)

Please anyone know something about this please email me

I would be greatfull for any replies
cheers
