[vtkusers] Problem building Activiz.NET wrappers

[Eric E. Monson]

Hey all,

Yesterday I tried for the first time to build the Activiz.NET wrappers from VTK git master. I got pretty far, but hit a problem at some point in building Kitware.VTK: when compiling vtkComputingResources.cs, "The type or namespace name 'vtkProcessingUnitResource' could not be found".

I'm using VS2008 on Win7 64-bit, but building everything as 32-bit Release mode. Build for VTK went fine. I think the only non-default settings I used were turning ON BUILD_SHARED_LIBS and VTK_USE_PARALLEL (the latter I only figured out when activizdotnet needed VPIC.dll and couldn't find it -- someone should make a note on the instructions page that that VTK_USE_PARALLEL should be ON) and turned OFF BUILD_TESTING and BUILD_EXAMPLES. Builds of gccxml and mummy went fine.

Anyone have any ideas about what could be getting in the way of C# knowing about vtkProcessingUnitResource? Unfortunately, I don't understand enough about the wrapping process or C# compilation to debug it.

Thanks,
-Eric
