Hi Robert,
I realised that vtkpython.exe works, if I drag and drop my .py file on
it. Ie, running my .py file using vtkpython.exe
But my python interpreter does not work with the python file. I have
tried what you suggested.
Below is what I typed in command line, as well as the error that it
produces.
C:\Qt\VTKbin7\Wrapping\Python>python setup.py install
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "setup.py", line 138, in <module>
raise "ERROR: Must specify BUILD_TYPE=<config-name> on command
line."
TypeError: exceptions must be classes or instances, not str
Is it just a small error with input format or something?
Thanks so much!
Helvin
