I am a begineer in VTK library and I have a problem with run this project:

http://web.mit.edu/16.225/dv/VTK/Examples/ImageProcessing/Cxx/

In CMakeLists there is 'if' condition:

IF(NOT VTK_USE_RENDERING) MESSAGE(FATAL_ERROR "Example ${PROJECT_NAME} requires VTK_USE_RENDERING.") ENDIF(NOT VTK_USE_RENDERING)

but during the configuration in CMake error apears:

CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:6 (MESSAGE): Example ImageProcessing requires VTK_USE_RENDERING.

Proble is that there is no VTK_USE_RENDERING entry in CMake. So how I can solve this problem? Should I use QT?

I would be grateful for any response!

Thank you in advance!

  • It means when you compiled VTK from source you should have enabled VTK_USE_RENDERING . Reconfigure vtk with cmake-gui enabling VTK_USE_RENDERING then generate then rebuild vtk. Commented May 7, 2015 at 12:30
  • Thank you for reply. It is quite obvious but there is no VTK_USE_RENDERING entry in CMake 3.2.2 version. So how to enable this? Commented May 7, 2015 at 13:32
  • You will have to recompile vtk itself not your application. Did you look for VTK_USE_RENDERING when you configured vtk with cmake? Commented May 7, 2015 at 13:34
  • Should I use QT? I say probably yes but it has nothing to do with the error. Commented May 7, 2015 at 13:35
  • drescherjm - There is no VTK_USE_RENDERING like in attached photo from web: cs.uakron.edu/~xiao/visualization/… Maybe I should use earlier version of CMake [not 3.2.2] but I am afraid that it may cause another incompatibility errors. So how to do it in 3.2.2? I added VTK_USE_RENDERING entry manualy and set it to "TRUE" value but it doesnt't work - another errors appers. Commented May 7, 2015 at 13:41

Problem solved.

VTK greater or equal than 6.0 version should use this CMakeFile.txt : 

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.8.5 FATAL_ERROR) project(ImageProcessing) find_package(VTK REQUIRED NO_MODULE) include(${VTK_USE_FILE}) add_executable(ImageSlicing ImageSlicing.cxx) target_link_libraries(ImageSlicing ${VTK_LIBRARIES})
