[vtkusers] fatal error LNK1181: cannot open input file 'vtkHybrid.lib'

Fri Oct 24 13:37:26 EDT 2008

AH HA ... (C++ dummies unite!). I never built VTK in Release mode, so 
there are no Release libs to link in, only Debug libs! I'm re-compiling 
VTK now as release...then I'll know for sure.

Here is how I discovered my problem:
In Visual Studio, right click on my project->Properties. Make sure the 
two drop downs at the top say Release and Win32 (maybe Active too). In 
the left panel tree, open
Configuration Properties->Linker->General
In the right hand pane, click in the Additional Library Directories and 
this is what is listed:

C:\projects\vtk\vtk-5.2\VTKBuild-MsVS9-StaticLink\bin\$(OutDir)

Perhaps someone else will benefit from this?
