Sorry guys
I'm tired to run it again and again. Is somewhere a tutorial or something else
where I can go through step by step (downloading what installing where what to
build wehre to copy and everything in detail) and not only telling me the half.
in the last 3 days I've installed Cmake and VTK deinstalled everything.
installed again and so one and nothing helped.
Why should I use CMAKE to complie when I have Visual Studio where I create my
projects? If I can use vtk only with Cmake I know why I've never heard before
of it.
