I have been trying to figure this out (and have tried to find it in this
mailing list), so please excuse this obvious question ...
Our software is written in c++ Visual Studio 2008 (win32 not managed). I
use vtk 4.2 (which was the current version when I developed the vtk
code). When i install version 4.2 I get the headers and libraries
installed into the following directories:
C:\Program Files\vtk42\include\vtk
C:\Program Files\vtk42\lib\vtk
I am rewriting much of the code and was hoping to migrate to latest vtk
version 5.4
I grab the win 32 installer from:
http://www.vtk.org/files/release/5.4/vtk-5.4.2-win32.exe
I run the installer and select all components ("Development",
"RuntimeExecutibles", "RuntimeLibraries" )
but when I go look int the target directory: "C:\Program Files\VTK 5.4"
but there do not seem to be no c header or libs. There seems to be tk
and tcl files but nothing for c development.
I thought the directory locations may have changed so I searched my
whole drive for "vtkActor" and the only file found was:
C:\Program Files\vtk42\include\vtk\vtkActor.h
Is there another 5.4 distribution I need to install to get the c headers?
Do I need to build from source (which seems excessive)?
Thanks,
-Eric
