[vtkusers] Where are the libraries?

[Barney Sperlin]

Thanks to John and Jothy I was able to get vtk_minimal to compile and run.  The webpage of instructions was necessary as was the suggestion to get the platform SDK (which I hadn't gotten previously since I was on dial-up and the download time was about 20 hours.  Recently I got cable internet and such things are available!).  Finally, running the compiled and linked program I got a lot of dll errors which I only solved by moving each requested dll from c:\program files\vtk\bin to c:\windows\system32.
Thank you again and now I can start actually learning VTK! (and ask somewhat more advanced question here ... )

>      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??).

You mentioned VS 2005 express. Does that install the platform SDK? I
think you need that to build some parts of the code.

As I understand it, Qt doesn't work on VS 2005 Express (the job is with 2008 Express).

Qt does work with VS2005 Pro. I have used this for 2+ years although I
am migrating all of my projects to VS2008 Pro.
