[vtkusers] CMake/Linking Issues VTK 6.1.0

[Dan]

Hi All,

I have been using VTK (version 5) for some time. I downloaded and built the source as detailed on the website, and then I was able to link to the libraries and include the header files manually as I usually do for third party libraries. Everything worked fine.

I'm now on a new system so I downloaded, configured and built VTK 6.1.0. It built fine and I installed it to the specified directory. However, I then found it impossible to manually link my VS project to the libraries. To get around this I tried using CMake to generate a Visual Studio project but nothing I try seems to work. A number of permutations each seem to give different errors, either include errors or linking errors. Some won't even configure with CMake!

Could someone please explain, in clear steps how one goes about building and linking to VTK?

Thanks very much,
Dan

(I'm not a novice but after three days trying to sort this out I'm out of ideas!)
