Re: [vmtk-users] Problem in Compiling VMTK07rc in Windows

SourceForge Headquarters 225 Broadway Suite 1600 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 454-5900

I was taking a look now, but it really looks like there are only two  
possibilities
in vtkITKWin32Header.h

1. that

#if defined(vtkvmtkITK_EXPORTS)

returns false.

2. that

#defined(VTKITK_STATIC)

returns true

I personally opt for the second one. So, could you try to modify  
vtkITKWin32Header.h
in the following way:

from

#if defined(WIN32) && !defined(VTKITK_STATIC)

to

#if defined(WIN32) && defined(VTKITK_STATIC)

If this works, then a minor touch to vtkITKConfigure.h will do the  
trick.

If it doesn't, can you go back to the original and instead change

#if defined(vtkvmtkITK_EXPORTS)

to

#if !defined(vtkvmtkITK_EXPORTS)

Thanks for your patience

Luca
