[vtkusers] Compiling VTK on Windows 64Bit (with TCL wrapper)

[Michael Kloster]

Hello Everybody!

Has anybody managed to compile VTK 5.4.2 on Windows 64Bit with Visual 
Studio 2008 including the TCL wrapper?

I can compile the "BUILD_ALL" projekt without TCL wrapper, but with the 
TCL wrapping enabled I get thousands of Linking errors (LNK2019 and 
LNK2001) complaining about not resolvolable external symbols 
"__imp_Tcl_XXXXXXX".

Even without TCL wrapping I have problems when trying to compile the 
"INSTALL" project getting an error PRJ0019 about a tool returning an 
error code. Occasionally the compiling succeds, but I can find no 
"vtk.exe" in the chosen install directory.

Do I have to care about 104 warnings C4267 complaining about possible 
data loss when convertig from "size_t" to "int"?

Is VTK running reliably when compiled for 64Bit, especially the volume 
rendering? I get an "bad allocation" error when trying to render volumes 
of really large data sets with VTK 32Bit, so I wanted to give 64Bit a try.


Any help is appreciated,
bye,
Michael
