[vtkusers] Re : running examples on vtk

[Martine Lefevre]

Hi
you can find 6 simple examples (step1,2...6) in vtk-5.0.4\Examples\Tutorial 
if you are using c++ open folder Cxx, in step1 for example, and you find the c++ file and CMakeLists.txt file.
run Cmake for this example to get the project for this example .then built this project and run it using your c++ compiler.

Objet : [vtkusers] running examples on vtk


Hi ,
 
          I have built vtk 5.0.3 with cmake 2.4.7 and VC++ 6.0 on win xp platform with NTFS hadrdrive unit.I followed the procedure given below.
 
1.Download vtk 5.0.3 source file and unzip it to a location C:\myprojects\vtksrc.
2 .Download vtk data 5.0.3  and unzip it to a location C:\myprojects\vtkdata.
3.Download vtk 5.0.3 win 32.exe to  location C:\myprojects\vtk5.0.3
4.Create a folder to save the binaies in location C:\myprojects\vtkbin.
5.Download and install cmake 2.4.7.
6.on windows xp set the environment variables right click on my computer,properties---->Advanced----->environment variables--------->system variables----------->new-------->variable name-------->vtk_data_root---------->variable value--------->C:\vtkproject\vtkdata and click ok.
7.run cmake set the source path as C:\myprojects\vtksrc and the where to build the binaries as C:\myprojects\vtkbin as i am using cmake 2.4.7 there is a option of setting the advanced values check the advanced values box.
8.Click on configure and turn on the following flags VTK_USE_ANSI_STDLIB  ON,BUILD_EXAMPLES OFF,BUILD_SHARED_LIBS OFF,VTk-USE_PARALLEL OFF ,VTK _USE_RENDERING ON nad i configured again and clicked on ok
9.Open the vtkbin folder double click on vtk.dsw and in vc++ click on ALLL_BUILD  and build it toolk about 10 minutes to build and flashed a message stating 0 errors and 0 warnings.
 
Is THE ABOVE METHOD CORRECT.Please correct me if i am wrong.
 
 
My question is how to run examples to verify whether by build is successful or not.How to include an example project and make it run.
 
 
when I opened an example project directly by clicking on example.cxx file it flashed an erron in vc++ ide stating that cannot compile the file no compile tool associated with the file extension
 
please provide me a solution for this.
