[vtkusers] VTK and GTS

[Bryn Lloyd]

Hi

The vtkSurfaceBooleanOperations filter needs external libraries (GTS and
GLIB).

GTS is quite difficult to compile on Windows, especially with the Visual
Studio C++ compiler. According to their website, GTS can be compiled using
cygwin on windows. If this is not an option, you should try to get a
pre-compiled version from somebody, or create your own visual studio project
to compile GTS, setting the correct compiler definitions.

GLIB can be obtained as a binary for Windows/Visual Studio online.

For your interest:
 - TAR.exe is a command line tool for unpacking an archive (e.g.
gts-snapshot.tar.gz).
 - MAKE.exe is a command line call to compile this code.
These are tools commonly found in a unix/linux/OSX environment.


Good luck

Hi, I am trying to install the example "vtkSurfaceBooleanOperations", I am
using CMake, Visual Studio 2010 and Windows XP, but I have a problem when I
want compile GTS librarys 

I guess that the problem is when I run the CMake and It generate a error
because can not found the "MAKE.EXE" and "TAR.EXE", I do not know what is
this. I guess that "TAR.EXE" is a program for decompress and I put the
adress of WinRar, but I do not know about "MAKE.EXE" 

If I dont put nothing, the project builds, but the librarys never are build.


Maybe another option would be if somebody know when I can to find the binary
files for windows of GTS

Please help me 

Thanks
