[vtkusers] Re: Installing VTK 4.2 on PC

[Laurent Mundeleer]

Hi Andres,

I'm not sure, but when I read you, you seems to forget the 3)
After configuring your build with cmake, you need to compile and build 
the vtk package.
To do that, click on the VTK.dsw to open the Visual Studio project, and 
build the BUILD_ALL project.
Once it is done, you can try to compile a vtk example, first using cmake 
to configure it, as for the vtk package, and then building it in Visual 
Studio.
