Hey all,

I need to integrate VTK 7.0 (http://www.vtk.org/) to create my C++ project for Windows users. Unfortunately it is not part of Chocolatey, so the only way I see is to download and build the lib by myself. Is there any way to automatically install this lib in AppVeyor?

Thanks

   You can install it during the build with this PowerShell script (we've re-uploaded installation file to a faster storage): https://gist.github.com/FeodorFitsner/c7b57c2e1de18fb2688029184f5191d4

   It's installed into C:\Program Files\VTK 7.0.0

   Thanks a lot, Feodor.
   If I understood the code inside the gist correctly, only the python interface of VTK gets installed. Therefore the installed package would be of no use for my C++-Project, correct? In this case I'd have to install VTK beforehand, before I build my own project, which depends on VTK.

   What VTK package should be installed to support C++ builds?

   Hi Feodor,

   I want to use VTK libraries in C++ projects.
   Could you consider adding VTK libraries to pre-installed software of build environment?

   Best Regards,
