Dear all,

I’m working with docker which built vtk7.1. I am seeing my project built successfully but while linking vtk libs it gives error about not finding some reference. I have all required vtk lib added in cmake. So, do we need to follow dependency sequence while adding different vtk libs?

Hello,

VTK is highly customizable. Maybe you’re using data types in your program that were not compiled following the VTK configuration settings. We can get a better picture if you post the error messages you are getting.
