Hi,
    Thanks for your response.  I am using 32bit Windows 7 machine with
vtk 5.6.1 and I am building on vs2010 ultimate.  I have enabled Shared
libs and Qt.  The problem seems to start from this error
D:\ProgramFiles\Microsoft Visual Studio
10.0\VC\include\crtdefs.h(436): error C2632: 'int' followed by 'int'
is illegal
when it is compiling vtksys project.  I had google around but unable
to find any solution to this problem.
