Hi Markus,
I added your macro in the main header file:
//VTK - auto initialization
#include <vtkAutoInit.h>
VTK_MODULE_INIT(vtkRenderingOpenGL);
VTK_MODULE_INIT(vtkInteractionStyle);
VTK_MODULE_INIT(vtkRenderingFreeType);
and I removed the following 2 lines from all the files I initially added
it to:
//#define vtkRenderingCore_AUTOINIT
4(vtkInteractionStyle,vtkRenderingFreeType,vtkRenderingFreeTypeOpenGL,vtkRenderingOpenGL)
//#define vtkRenderingVolume_AUTOINIT 1(vtkRenderingVolumeOpenGL)
Setting the correct install path (thanks to Artur & John, I now have the
"VTK\include\vtk-6.1" directory), all sources files now compile.
So I did some progress.
However, I'm no there yet as it does not link.
It looks like quite some libs have changed name, and I'm not sure which
of the new ones I should add in the dependency.
Is there a clever way to define which ones I need, or do I need to use a
trial/error procedure?
Thanks for helping
Pof
