Add VTK library to Qt project

Please_Help_me_D · S SGaist 3 Dec 2019, 19:35

@SGaist I'm sorry for disturbing you but don't you know why some of VTK examples work and other doesn't?
For example I can run ex1(works) and ex2(works) but I can't launch ex3(not_work)
The output from my app is:
03:02:26: Strart C:\Users\Tasik\Documents\Qt_prj\build-untitled-Desktop_Qt_5_12_5_MSVC2017_64bit-Release\release\untitled.exe ...
03:02:26: Application unexpectly stopped.
03:02:26: The process was forced to stop.
03:02:26: C:/Users/Tasik/Documents/Qt_prj/build-untitled-Desktop_Qt_5_12_5_MSVC2017_64bit-Release/release/untitled.exe crashed.

Do you have the same issue in Debug mode ?

Please_Help_me_D · S SGaist 6 Dec 2019, 22:02

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

SGaist · 8 Dec 2019, 01:07

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 · S SGaist 7 Dec 2019, 21:27

@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 · 9 Dec 2019, 05:28

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

jsulm · 9 Dec 2019, 15:55

@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 · J jsulm 9 Dec 2019, 05:28

@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.

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 · 9 Dec 2019, 19:22

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

Please_Help_me_D · S SGaist 9 Dec 2019, 18:36

@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 · 9 Dec 2019, 20:56

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

Please_Help_me_D · S SGaist 9 Dec 2019, 20:28

@SGaist Yes. I just checked it

Please_Help_me_D · 12 Oct 2019, 16:03

@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 · 10 Dec 2019, 22:53

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 · 12 Oct 2019, 23:35

@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?

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

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:
