[vtkusers] VTK binaries for Windows

[Barth, Sebastian]

Hello Caitlin,

I use Qt with the QVTKWidget and qmake for Visual Studio 9.

I did not found any better way than using the cmake-gui application to create a VisualStudio Project for VTK, compile it with VS in "RelWithDebInfo"  and then install it (cmake creates an INSTALL project). After this, I set up two environment variables  (see CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX):
VTK_LIB_DIR                     -> "C:\Program files\VTK\lib\vtk-5.6\"
VTK_INCLUDE_DIR         -> "C:\Program files\VTK\lib\vtk-5.6\"

My own project uses a qmake pro file which includes these two environment variables.

This way separates the VTK project from my own project. So I am independent from any changes of the cmake project of VTK.

There is of course an easier way, but not without cmake. VTK is a cmake project and there are several things set by cmake to make it a single project for different operating systems.

Correct me if I am wrong.
I hope this helps.

Best Regards
Sebastian Barth

Betreff: [vtkusers] VTK binaries for Windows

Hello,

I am wondering where I can find the windows installer for VTK version 4.0.  I dont need the source code.
Alternatively, is there a good way to link VTK to an existing project that does not use CMake?  I am running everything in Visual 6.

thank you
caitlin
