[vtkusers] What happened to vtkPatented?

[Patricia Gonçalves]

Mike,
 
I tryed the files you sent me, but kept getting the message:
 
error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "public: static class vtkDecimate * __cdecl vtkDecimate::New(void)" (?New at vtkDecimate@@SAPAV1 at XZ) referenced in function "int __cdecl meshSimplification2(class vtkActor *,struct ArgsSimp)" (?meshSimplification2@@YAHPAVvtkActor@@UArgsSimp@@@Z)

I believe this error is due to not having vtkPatented.lib (don't know why I get this problem and you din't...). So, I copyed this file and all the files "attached" to it (vtkPatented.dll, the Patented directory, etc.) from a previous version of VTK, which solved error LNK2019.
 
Now, I have no debugging errors, but when I try to run my application, VS.NET 2003 says it can't find the dll's. I have the correct dll's directories in the VC++ Directories, so I don't understand why VS doesn't find them. Any ideas?
 
Thank you!

These are the sources that I use. Like I said, I use them directly in 
my own project instead of trying to recompile vtk with these files 
included.

We did enough changes to get them to compile and run in our 
Application that runs under VTk 5.0. I make no warranty if the 
changes have introduced bugs or not. The changes seem to work for us. 
I would test the code thoroughly to understand the changes.

If there are any glaring bugs I would appreciate knowing about them.
