[vtkusers] Re: VolumePro1000 SDK problem

[Kent Ogden]

Hi,
 
I have a VP1000 board, and I am new to VTK, it took me some time to get it working.  Here's what I've found out:
 
1) I couldn't get VTK version 4.4.2 to compile with the .h and .lib files provided on the vtk web site.  It seems to work fine with the Terarecon supplied files, but I believe you need to buy the SDK from Terarecon to get these (I had already purchased the SDK so I had the files).  You should contact Terarecon to see if you can get these files, you don't need the documentation of the VLI SDK to get vtk to work, just the files (.h, ..lib, and .dll for windows platforms).
 
2) VTK 5 doesn't have the VP1000 options available in the CMake files.  I spent some time studying the 4.4 Cmake files to see what needed to be done, and I was able to modify the vesion 5 makefiles to show the VP1000 options and get them to compile.  All the VP1000 classes are still there in version 5, so I'm not sure why this was done.  I would guess that Volume Pro support is going to fade away in vtk.
 
If anyone is interested I will send the files I modified for vtk 5 to the list.

Hi,

the windows drivers are fre available from vtk website,
not sure if they work on vtk5

the linux drivers are available from tererecon if you ask them nicely,
only on 2.4 kernel though not current 2.6 kernels.

i haven't had my volumepro beard working for a while due to lack of  
2.6 kernel support.
