[vtkusers] VTK Compile DirectX and GPU

[Francois Bertel]

Hello,

This simple example does not use CMake for discovering dependencies.
So it uses dependencies for VTK 5.0.

You better right a simple example using a CMakeLists.txt like:

# first line
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.8.1 FATAL_ERROR)

project(myProject)

find_package(VTK REQUIRED)
include(${VTK_USE_FILE})

set(SRC vtk_minimal.cpp)
add_executable(myProgram ${SRC})
target_link_libraries(myProgram vtkRendering)
# last line


Or if you want to direclty deal  with a visual studio project (not
recommended) then the dependency your missing is the one about
d3d9.lib.


Regards.
