[vtkusers] VTK 6.0 with Visual Studio

[Frédéric Speisser]

Hello,

When I ported VTK 5.9.1 to VTK 5.6, I encountered such issues maybe you 
are encountering the same, ensure you've done following :

oextra definitions must be added in preprocessor settings :

To have the os/rendering system  dependent classes created, following 
macro must be set :
/#define vtkRenderingCore_AUTOINIT 
4(vtkInteractionStyle,vtkRenderingFreeType,vtkRenderingFreeTypeOpenGL,vtkRenderingOpenGL)/

or a reference to a file, containing the previous macro, like this must 
be added in preprocessor definitions :
/vtkRenderingCore_INCLUDE="vtkRenderingCore_AUTOINIT_vtkInteractionStyle_vtkRenderingFreeType_vtkRenderingFreeTypeOpenGL_vtkRenderingOpenGL.h"
/


Hope that helps !

When I began the port to 6.0, I followed the migration guide found here: http://www.vtk.org/Wiki/VTK/VTK_6_Migration_Guide and the code builds and links just fine.  However, when I run it, I'm getting access violation exceptions (attempts to read/write protected memory) when I try instantiating with New().  Researching further, I see that this problem is mentioned here: http://www.vtk.org/Wiki/VTK/VTK_6_Migration/Factories_now_require_defines  HOWEVER I'm not getting NULL objects with the New() call, I'm getting exceptions.  Furthermore, it doesn't happen with every VTK object; some instantiate and can be used just fine.  Nonetheless, I tried the suggestions at the second link, regarding definition of VTK AUTOINIT, and they proved fruitless.  So I'm currently at a loss...
