[vtkusers] Compile VTK+QT for release

[Gib Bogle]

Your friend's machine will need the Qt dlls.  A great tool for checking dll requirements is DependencyWalker:

Subject: Re: [vtkusers] Compile VTK+QT for release

Not sure, but probably not as im using the open source license not the commercial one.

I built the libraries myself from the source code using the guide at
http://www.holoborodko.com/pavel/2011/02/01/how-to-compile-qt-4-7-with-visual-studio-2010/

and in my Qt 4.7.4-64bit/bin folder there are a bunch of dll's including QtCore4.dll etc...

So i guess it is a completely dynamic library.

Could this mean im missing Qt dll's?

Cheers
Alex

Ok, my vtk/bin folder (which I know is configured correctly as everything is ok on my machine) does not contain *.dll, only *.lib. (and some demo *.exe).

It looks like you have the dynamic VTK installation (hence dll) and I have the static installation.

As I understand it, my static installation should mean that the revelant code from the library is included directly in the final executable and hence missing VTK libraries are not an issue here.

Does anyone disagree with me on this?

Try copying all the dll corresponding to the libs you included in the .pro file in QtCreator.I don't know how it works in VS.

No he doesn't have them.

Though I believe I built VTK static libraries as this is default.

Do I need to build them?
If so, how do I know which ones he will need?

Thanks
Alex

Hmmmm,

Not unless it is done by default in the VS2010 installation? - I have installed VS2010 service pack 1 though.

Wait, when you talk about installation are you referring to my Visual Studio 2010 installation or installing these 'run times' on my colleagues machine?

Hi,

I just compiled a VTK + QT application in "x64" and "Release" mode (Windows
7 64 bit&  VS2010 VTK 5.8.0 and QT 4.7.4) the resulting executable works

perfectly fine on my machine.

The problem is that I want this to work on another Windows 7 64-bit machine
so a colleague may use the program. He ran the compiled EXE but got a
message saying that the application could not start.

VTK was built with the standard settings in Cmake plus the QT and Parallel
options.

(Im not a software developer by profession as you may have guessed)

Any suggestions?

Did you install the Visual Studio 2010 runtimes as part of your install process?

John
