[vtkusers] Problem in compiling vtk for ReadPLY example on windows

[Agam Sarup]

I am trying to compile vtk with an example(ReadPLY) program and following
the instructions from the link
http://www.vtk.org/Wiki/VTK/Examples/IO/ReadPLY

Since i am doing this on windows, i had to do some things differently.
I ran the following instructions from ReadPLY folder in Visual Studio
Command Prompt (2010).







*cd buildcmake
-DVTK_DIR:PATH=C:\git\VES\Apps\Android\CMakeBuild\build\CMakeExternals\Build\vtk-host
-G "NMake Makefiles" .. nmake(WINDOWS USERS PLEASE NOTE:* Be sure to add
the VTK bin directory to your path. This will resolve the VTK dll's at run
time.)
I have also made sure that the above requirement is fulfilled.

After running *cmake* the Makefile gets generated but when i run *nmake* i
get the following output:

C:\Users\user\workspace\vtkExamples\ReadPLY\build>nmake

Microsoft (R) Program Maintenance Utility Version 10.00.30319.01

NMAKE : fatal error U1077: '"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio

Stop.

There is no library named *vtkalglib-6.0.lib *in directory
C:\git\VES\Apps\Android\CMakeBuild\build\CMakeExternals\Build\vtk-host\lib\

I don't understand what to do next. Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks,
Agam
