[vtkusers] VC++ 2010 Express Build Issues

Sat Apr 9 09:15:29 EDT 2011

I guess that vtk561-bin refer to the path where VTK has been build (see
cmake « where to build »).

When you used VC++ to compile VTK (« ALL BUILD » project in your VTK
solution), you may have seen a project called « INSTALL ».

Build this project only, it will create a vtk directory (if I recall
correctly in c:\program files\...) including all the headers.

It is this directory (and not vtk561-bin)) that should be used in the
include path

Bob,

You really should use cmake to configure your project. It might be possible
to do it without cmake but I don't know how to do it. If you use cmake, you
should not set any includes or paths in Visual Studio. CMake does that when
it creates the solution file.

There are 100's of examples here with corresponding CMakeLists.txt files.

If I comment out the 8 vtk #includes I can Build and Run

Bob,

When you say you "add code for vtk includes", what do you mean? Where do you
add the code?

Given I did the above,  I’m not sure if Cone2011Test is being configured
with CMake ?
How do I check?
I have attached the requested file.
In older versions of vtk I saw something like the image below – note  1
project

===============================================
Now when I try Win32Cone.sln  from the examples, I encounter a somewhat long
delay and 
Solution Explorer shows 31 projects. A partial screenshot follows

I don’t think the above is what I should see in the Solution Explorer
window.
Am I right ?

Bob,

I assume Cone2011Test is being configured with CMake.  Can you post your
CMakeLists.txt file?

I’m running XP Pro SP3 and using VC++ 2010 Express.

I think I have a clean install of vtk 5.6.1 in vtk561-bin.

How would I check to be sure the install is correct ?

I add code for vtk includes and set the Include directory to vtk561-bin and

VC looks for and cannot find vtkCylinderSource.h.

Please assist.  
Perhaps there are suggested methods for building vtk application that I
don’t know.
I have looked at the examples and would prefer to code my examples from
scratch.
