Win7 64-bit VS2015 VTK7.1

problem 1: link error (almost all functions cannot find their corresponding definitions) :

The reason is that the library (lib) is not well configured.

solution:

1. Item attributes ->; Vc + + directories – & gt; The location where the library directory is added with the corresponding lib

such as: D: \ VTK7.1 \ VTK – bin \ lib \ Debug

2. Connector ->; Input – & gt; Add the required lib (or, like me, all of them) to the dependency, and enter

actually also has the easier way, connector ->; Conventional – & gt; Additional library directory, can be added to the entire folder. (but later tried and found that it did not work, or add it)

problem 2. Runtime error: missing vtkxxx.dll

Solution: The problem is that the environment variables are not configured properly.

Add the corresponding DLL folder in the environment variable PATH, such as my location is D:\VTK7.1\ vtk-res\ bin

Restart VS and run it again without this problem.

question 3. LNK2001
An external symbol that cannot be resolved

“void __cdecl vtkRenderingOpenGL_AutoInit_Construct(void)” (?vtkRenderingOpenGL_AutoInit_Construct@@YAXXZ)

QtVTKhelloworld
E:\code\VTKproject1\QtVTKhelloworld\test.obj

at first I thought it was my opengl installation problem, then looked back to the CMAKE interface,

: VTK_RENDERING_BACKEND
: VTK_RENDERING_BACKEND: OpenGL/OpenGL2

to return to my code, I found my header file declares the VTK_MODULE_INIT (vtkRenderingOpenGL)

then change it to VTK_MODULE_INIT(vtkRenderingOpenGL2) to resolve the error.
