[vtkusers] Difficulties migrating from vtk5.10.1 to vtk6.1.0

Tue Apr 8 04:56:55 EDT 2014

Hi,

you need to fix the include paths and you can do it easily in VS. 
Just point via Project->C++->General->Additional Include Directories to 
the directory where *.h files are located (say, <your 
install>\vtk\include\vtk-6.1). Once you do that and also add the libraries 
and link, you'll find out the run-time errors and crashes. And this is 
actually the real pain. You must add module auto initialisation (the 
sample in wiki never worked for me as it failed to mention that you may 
need other modules, for example vtkInteractionStyle). You just need to 
check which modules your project requires.

//VTK - auto initialization
#include "vtkAutoInit.h"
VTK_MODULE_INIT(vtkRenderingOpenGL);
VTK_MODULE_INIT(vtkRenderingFreeType);
VTK_MODULE_INIT(vtkInteractionStyle);

(this particular one uses only vtkCharts). I have no idea how and where to 
upload the sample.

regards,

A.

Hi pof,

I also did not use CMake for my own projects. And when I migrated from 
v5.8 to 6.0 I also started to become desparate. In my case my programs 
started to crash as soon as I loaded a VTK object. So I tried several 
compiler settings, but nothing helped.

Than I started using CMake for my own projects. And even projects that no 
longer ran, started to run again without any problem. And after looking at 
some examples it was relatively easy to write the CMake files.

Success, Leo.

Hi all, 

I am (desperately)  trying to migrate my application from 5.10.1 to 
6.1.0, and so far without any success. 
I guess the problem comes from the fact that my application is compiled 
and linked with MSVisualStudio, without any use of CMake (though I 
obviously use CMake used to compile vtk librairies). 

Typically, I tried to follow what is mentionned on the wiki, i.e. adding 
the following 2 lines at the beginning of header files that #include vtk 
objects: 
#define vtkRenderingCore_AUTOINIT 
4(vtkInteractionStyle,vtkRenderingFreeType,vtkRenderingFreeTypeOpenGL,vtkRenderingOpenGL) 

#define vtkRenderingVolume_AUTOINIT 1(vtkRenderingVolumeOpenGL) 

But this does not work. I also try to add paths for include files, 
without success. For instance, compiling a simple file, the compiler 
complains with: 
fatal error C1083: Impossible to open include file : 
'vtkRenderWindowInteractor.h : No such file or directory 

So I'm completely lost. Is there any available example (using MSVC++) of 
a simple project successfuly migrated in vtk6. 

Thanks in advance for any tip advice 
Pof
