[vtkusers] [vtk-users] VTK6.2 VS2013+Qt5.5.0 - Linker error not able to open 'vtkCommon.lib'

[Kavya Bellur Padmesh]

David,

Thank you for the clarification. As I am porting the application with
VS2013, all the lib file names are mentioned under Project->
Properties->Linker->Input-> Additional dependencies.
Now I have to replace included 'vtkCommon.lib' with new modularised .lib
file for building my application.
The project I have been porting, is not created with cmake_lists.txt. In
this scenario, how will I be able to port the application?

Kindly provide me some information.
