[vtkusers] Re: vtkMy TCL packages in static build

[Goodwin Lawlor]

Hi Dean,

Try adding your out-of-source /Wrapping/Tcl directory to TCLLIBPATH. My
TCLLIBPATH looks like "{c:/src/vtk/Wrapping/Tcl}
{c:/src/bioeng/Wrapping/tcl/}"

Just to test, run your new vtk.exe and see if you can create an object from
one of your vtk classes. You shouldn't need to call "package require ... "
or "load ..." first. With vtk.exe "package require vtk" is just required to
run the tcl scripts in the packages- like the bindings and interactor
scripts... the libraries are already loaded and initialized.
