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

[Kavya Bellur Padmesh]

Thank you!
The error resolved by including all the required library paths manually
under project-> properties->Linker->Additional dependencies.
However now with successful build, when try to run the .exe file getting
error as below
[image: Inline image 1]

Tried to resolve this issue as per wiki page(
http://www.vtk.org/Wiki/VTK/VTK_6_Migration/Factories_now_require_defines)

As I have been porting my application to VTK6.2 have added the macros in
application header files with vtk instance.
" #include <vtkAutoInit.h> VTK_MODULE_INIT(vtkRenderingOpenGL);"

Still same error observed. Could you please correct me whether I am doing
it wrong? Else if there are any workarounds kindly let me know.
