[vtkusers] Where are the libraries?

[Barney Sperlin]

Hi Jothy,
     I looked at your link and have been following it.  I'm currently at the point where I'm building the "install" from the VS IDE.  It is still running but I am getting a bunch of errors indicating that it can't find "window.h" but I'll wait for the process to finish (an hour??).
     And, no, I am not building with Qt, but there is a possibility that I might get a job in a week or so that involves maintaining a system with both Qt and VTK, which is why I'm trying to install and become familiar with VTK.  As I understand it, Qt doesn't work on VS 2005 Express (the job is with 2008 Express).

Are you building with Qt?

Did you have a look at the link which I sent?

After pressing configure, if any of the rows are red then you need to fix it before proceeding with build.

If any row is red, look into that for errors.

Thanks, Jothy, but I think I did this as the text on the GUI says:
"Current Generator: Visual Studio 8 2005" which seems to be correct.  What else could I be doing wrong?

I think you have to select VS compiler before configuring the cmake files,  if you are going to build with visual studio.


After clicking configure it will pop-up a window asking "Specify a
 generator for this project" there you should select the appropriate compiler.

Thanks Jothy,
     I've loaded in VTK.sln into the IDE and tried to build it.  That also gives me errors.  When it comes to VTKCommon it complains about


6>Linking...
6>LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file '..\..\bin\Debug\vtksys.lib'

and there are missing _mingw.h files:
7>C:\Program Files\vtk-5.6.0\Common\windows.h(13) : fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: '_mingw.h': No such file or directory



What steps have I skipped?  Is that how to build the libraries?

After Configure-->Generate, you have to build the vtk libraries in order to use them.

Hello,
     I downloaded VTK and CMake, then ran CMake and both "configure" and "generate" worked (both said "done" in the lower window of CMake).
     However, when I ran VS2005 Express with C++ and tried to get the project vtk_minimal to work the project compiles but doesn't link, stopping on the notice that vtkCommon.lib wasn't found.



     When I used Windows search it couldn't find it and, actually, I don't see any other such libs.  What do I need to do?
