but I followed those instructions. In fact, I already had a Qt 4.7 compiled from source. I made some modifications to project files (there is no QtGuid.lib, only QtGuid4.lib etc). Now I have reverted all my local changes (also set qtdir64 environment variable), but the build now fails due to missing QtGuid.lib.

the fact that some of those libs have the "wrong name" shows that you have compiled Qt with the wrong parameters. Qt has the habbit of naming the static libs differently from the shared libs (hence you had no QtGuid.lib but only a QtGuid4.lib for example) renaming those files or chaing the project does not help (actually it breaks a few things). So it's not like our vs file are outdated (actually we just changed them yesterday) but it's you having the wrong Qt build. Please use the scripts from the imagevis scripts directory build, and note that we have not yet tested Qt 4.7 but only the Qt 4.6 builds, but they do coexist with your Qt 4.7 nicely.

From you debug out below btw I can see that you do not have the qtdir32 env var set properly. Be aware that you need to restart your visual studio for any change in env variables to take effect.

I would say you have not updated .vcproj and .vcxproj files in a long time. Also, if you use CMake in subproject Tuvok, why not use it for ImageVis3D too? Most people are familiar with it and it alleviates the problem of wrong compile options (such as include directories and library names).

well, cmake is a differnt story, I can exaplain that another time :-)

Hi,

please take a look at the page

http://www.sci.utah.edu/cibc/wiki/index.php/CIBC:Project:ImageVis3D

it tells you how to build ImageVis3D on Windows. Basically, all you need is to compile Qt from scratch (batch file to do this can be found in the scripts directory) and you need to set one (or two if you want to do both 32 and 64 bit builds) environment variables. It's all explained on the above webpage under "Windows-only Caveats"

Cheers
