I am using visual studio 2008 in my MFC + vtk project. There I am getting a linking error as below:

Can anyone explain me the reason for this error?

Thanks in advance.

    Finally I found the answer for the problem. It was that vtkMFCWindow was configured with /MD option and my main project was configured with /MTd option. And therefore I got the error. Once I removed the __declspec( dllexport ) lines and it worked well.
    Thanks for the help.
