How did you try?
What does not work?
Which (minimal) VS version is required for your installed VTK version?

Re: VTK in MFC VC6

After secular fights, that take few days :)), I succeded to integrate VTK library in two MFC projects, one of them is console, other one is MDI ... they are compiled with no errors, but when I try to run the programs, I get folowing error:

Code:

The program can't start because vtkRenderingCore-1.6.dll is missing from your computer

Ok, I am using vtkRenderingCore-1.6.lib file (and header file) inside the project, so teoretically I don't need vtkRenderingCore-1.6.dll file ... still, the program want to take dll file ... strange .... I have to digg in ...

If an project use a lib file (and header file, of course), why do I need dll file though ?

You do need vtkRenderingCore-1.6.dll file because all the functions of VTK library were implemented in dll. And vtkRenderingCore-1.6.lib just informs linker that it should make the binding with corresponding dll while run-time.

But is the vtkRenderingCore-1.6.lib a really static? Your linker seems to not recognize it as a "static".

Re: VTK in MFC VC6

You had right :) as soon as I recompiled the requested library as static, everything was all right ! You know, people like you keep the forums alive ! :D Kindly thank you !
