VS2012编译安装VTK-5.10.1（支持Python）

1 源码下载

    到参考资料[1]下载vtk-5.10.1.zip和vtkdata-5.10.1.zip。

2 源码解压

    这里以D:盘为例进行说明。在D:盘中创建一个目录VTK，然后在其中创建4个目录：source,、build、data和install。将vtk-5.10.1.zip和vtkdata-5.10.1.zip分别解压到VTK/src目录和VTK/data目录中。

3 初步配置

    下载python和cmake并分别完成安装。打开cmake，设定"Where is the source code"和“Where to build the binaries”如下图所示：

图1

然后点击上图中的Configure按钮，弹出下面的窗体：

图2

    在上图中选择用于编译VTK的工具。由于本次用于编译VTK的是VS2012，因此选择"Visual Studio 11"。点击“Finish”按钮，则开始配置。

4 进一步配置

    完成第三步后，结果如下图所示。

图3

    勾选上图advance选项，并且在Search输入框中搜索出BUILD_EXAMPLES、BUILD_TESTING、BUILD_SHARED_LIBS、VTK_USE_GUISUPPORT和VTK_WRAP_PYTHON（关于python，见参考资料[3]），然后勾选上。并且分别指定CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX和VTK_DATA_ROOT为D:/VTK/install和D:/VTK/data。完成后再次点击“Configure”按钮继续配置。

这时将会提示错误，如下图：

图4

    搜索VTK_USE_TK(方法同图3)，去掉勾选，继续“Configure”。这是提示错误如下图：

图5

    搜索PYTHON_INCLUDE_DIR，然后指定其路径为C:/Python25/include（实际值根据python的头文件路径进行修改）。然后继续“Configure“。此时，提示错误如下：

图6

    搜索PYTHON_LIBRARY，然后指定其值为：C:/Python25/libs/python25.lib(是一个库，而不是一个路径)，如下图：

图7

    继续”Configure“，提示”Configuring done“则表示配置成功。然而还是有很多警告信息。

    搜索"PYTHON_EXECUTABLE"，并且设定为“C:/Pyghon25”/python.exe（具体值根据python的实际安装路径来定），如下图所示：

图8

    继续“Configure”，将会提示如下：

图9

    这时候需要再次“Configure”。

    最后，搜素VTK_USE_MFC，并且勾选，继续“Configure”，等提示“Configuring done”后，点击“Generate”按钮，将产生VS2012的工程。

5 编译

    在D:/VTK/build目录中找到VTK.sln并且使用VS2012打开它。选中“All_BUILD”，右键单击，选择“生成”，如下图：

图10

    编译过程中出现的问题，见参考资料[4]。

6 安装

6.1 C++库和头文件安装    

    完成第5步的编译后，就可以进行安装。选中INSTALL，右键单击，选择“仅用于项目”，然后选择“仅生成INSTALL(B)”如下图：

图11

    完成后，在D:/VTK/install目录中将会安装好VTK的库和头文件。如下图：

图12

6.2 Python安装

    编译好后，进入目录E:\VTK\vtk-5.10.1\bin\Wrapping\Python(具体目录，根据实际编译的情况进行修改)，必须进这个目录，否则在执行下面的命令式将会提示找不到vtk目录。

    在CMD中执行下面命令：（前提是已经在Windows中安装了python）

python setup.py install BUILD_TYPE=Debug

    安装过程提示信息如下：
