How to ...

setup environment for developing in C# and C++ 

Setup for Win 2000/XP with Visual Studio .NET (7.0) 

• Environmental variable PATH have to contain the directory where all VTK-dlls are installed. (e.g. C:\Program Files\vtk42\bin\)
• In managed project (e.g. C#) simply add the reference on the interfacing dll (vtkDotNetWrap.dll). Local copy of the dll is strongly recommended due to the .NET security limitations.
• In unmanaged project (C++)
• In main menu Tools->Options find node Projects->VC++ Directories. Add the particular VTK directories as include files path and library files path. (e.g. C:\Program Files\vtk42\include\vtk, C:\Program Files\vtk42\lib\vtk)
• Add following libraries (or only subset you are going to need) to the linker command line additional options in project properties: (vtkCommon.lib vtkFiltering.lib vtkexpat.lib vtkfreetype.lib vtkftgl.lib vtkGraphics.lib vtkHybrid.lib vtkImaging.lib vtkIO.lib vtkjpeg.lib vtkParallel.lib vtkpng.lib vtkRendering.lib vtktiff.lib vtkzlib.lib )
