Add VTK library to Qt project

SGaist

Do you have the same issue in Debug mode ?

Please_Help_me_D

@SGaist yes, the behavior is the same in release and debug mode

SGaist

In that case, run your application using the debugger. It will allow you to gather more information on what is going on.

Please_Help_me_D

@SGaist I can't put a "break point" beacause in this case I get the error: "cdb stopped".
If I just run app in debug mode I get the application output:

04:05:17: C: \ Users \ Tasik \ Documents \ Qt_prj \ build-VTK-Desktop_Qt_5_12_5_MSVC2017_64bit-Debug \ debug \ VTK.exe starts ...

04:05:17: C: /Users/Tasik/Documents/Qt_prj/build-VTK-Desktop_Qt_5_12_5_MSVC2017_64bit-Debug/debug/VTK.exe failed.

and compiler output:

04:05:17: Settings have not changed, the qmake stage is skipped.

How did you install the debugger ?

Please_Help_me_D

@SGaist I don't know exactly but I think it was installed with Visual Studio 2017. Isn'it?

jsulm

@Please_Help_me_D said in Add VTK library to Qt project:

Isn'it?

No, the debugger in Visual Studio can't be used outside of Visual Studio.
You need to install Debugging Tools for Windows/CDB.
See https://doc.qt.io/qtcreator/creator-debugger-engines.html

Please_Help_me_D

@jsulm thank you
My debugger is in folder: C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Debuggers\x64\cdb.exe
Then I don't know how it was installed. It was already installed by the time when I installed Qt. Should I install some new debugger?
By the way in most application I can set a breakpoint and work with debugger. But in this case it doesn't work.

Please_Help_me_D

I set up CDB path as it said in link text but still doesn't work.
Am I right that if my CDB installed properly then it should run my app and if some problem occurs then an error should appear that more detailed describes my problem?

SGaist

Did you check that your debugger is for the right architecture ?

Please_Help_me_D

@SGaist I think so. There are several of them for different compilators and architectures and I think Qt choses the right one for my x64 application

SGaist

Did you check that it's the correct one that is selected for the kit you are using ?

Please_Help_me_D

@SGaist Yes. I just checked it

Please_Help_me_D

@SGaist @jsulm I think I have found the reason why I used to not get any meaningful errors. From here I turned off the Windows "Fault Tolerant Heap" and now I get the error:

cannot open C:\Windows\main.obj.5848.31.jom for write

But I dont have any file in that folder with name "main..."

SGaist

And you should not. There's no reason for the build system to try to write to that folder. You should do a full clean rebuild.

Please_Help_me_D

@SGaist Thank you, I think the problem was solved.
What did I do:
After I rebuild the project I got the error:

ERROR: In D:\Qt\Downloaded\VTK-8.2.0\Rendering\Core\vtkTextMapper.cxx, line 550
vtkOpenGLTextMapper (0000000002D23D40): Could not locate vtkTextRenderer object.

Here I saw the solution for that problem. Now to run any VTK example I add:

#include <vtkAutoInit.h>
VTK_MODULE_INIT(vtkRenderingOpenGL2);
VTK_MODULE_INIT(vtkRenderingContextOpenGL2); // this is for 2D graphics [link](http://vtk.1045678.n5.nabble.com/Error-no-override-found-for-vtkContextDevice2D-td5741533.html)
VTK_MODULE_INIT(vtkInteractionStyle);
VTK_MODULE_INIT(vtkRenderingFreeType);

But I'm interested why the error say somethink about D:\Qt\Downloaded\VTK-8.2.0\Rendering\Core\vtkTextMapper.cxx? Here I have only unpacked VTK folder and it is installed in C:\apps\MSVC_apps_debug\VTK
Why the error refers to the folder where VTK was simply downloaded?

SGaist

You should take a look at the code where the message is generated. That might give you some clues.

Please_Help_me_D

I have the same problem once again.
After I reinstalled Windows 7 to Windows 10 I can run some simple examples from VTK web-site. But some other examples don't work and I the problem is that I dont get any error message. For example I delete all build folder and run app in debug mode and Qmake compiler output:

03:44:37: The steps for the VTK project are being carried out ...

Then I run debug and I get:

Everything is well but suddenly I get a window with text "CDB process ended"

If I run in release mode then QMAKE tells me the same jom 1.1.3 - empower your cores and when running the project compiler tells me something similar as in debug mode but application output:

03:54:39: C: \ Users \ tasik \ Documents \ Qt_Projects \ build-VTK-Desktop_Qt_5_12_6_MSVC2017_64_bit-Release \ release \ VTK.exe starts ...

Seems to me that something stops my application... I already turned off Fault Tolerant Heap but that didn't help.
Here is my kit:

And happy New Year!
Sorry but I can't leave my project even at such holiday :D

SGaist

Happy new year !

Did you change any dependency ?
VTK version ?
Application name ?
