[vtkusers] Unable to run a sample program

[Magnus Elden]

All you have to do is add the include and library folder + the libraries you
want to use.

In preferences->c/c++->general you can add the include path under additional
include directories.
Then, In preferences->linker->general add the library dir to the additional
library dependencies.
Finally, in preference->linker->input under additional dependencies you add
every library you want to link against.

So you have to list all folders that contain all the libraries AND you have
to name each library that you want to use. If either the name is not listed
or the path is not listed it will give you this error.

I would use Cmake instead though. Makes it much easier.

Yours,
Magnus Elden

Prajwal,

I don't know the details of setting up include and library dependencies in
VS2013 so I can't help you there. Nor is there a tutorial for VS that I know
of.

Typically, developers who use VTK find it easiest to get things set up
properly by using CMake to generate the VS2013 files. See any of the example
CMakeLists.txt files in the VTK C++ wiki examples, e.g.,

http://www.vtk.org/Wiki/VTK/Examples/Cxx/IO/SimplePointsReader

If you don't want to use CMake, perhaps someone else on the list can help
you with VS2013.

HTH,
Cory
