[vtkusers] vtk42 using with Borland 5 builder

[Mario Medved]

Hi,

Your demo program clearly tries to load the DLLs at the beginning of the
execution and something goes wrong. I would recompile the VTK again using
the "STATIC LIB" option which will create static Borland lib files and you
will not need any DLLs, since you will include the libs directly in your
project. 

Bye,
Mario

Hi Mario,

As far as I know, I don't use any DLL's. But perhaps they are linked 
unnoticed? The error I get is a pop-up window, even before the form 
constructor is invoked. It says some like: cannot find ordinal 55?? in 
VTKCOMMON.DLL. Perhaps this does ring a bell?

I have tried to put some breakpoints, but the program terminates even 
before it enters some of my code. The sample project is just the 
standard Borland think you get when starting a new project. In my case I 
just made a form with a button, and when clicking that button that 
example should execute. I tried Dean's suggestion, and placed that dll 
in the .exe directory, but with no result. :(

Cheers,
Wienand
