Hi Simon,
It took a while, but now vv compiles for me on MacOSX Yosemite.
Actually I failed to install VTK 5.10.1, I got a strange linking issue
that is described here, it popped up on Mavericks already, it seems:
http://vtk.1045678.n5.nabble.com/VTK-installation-issue-td5724089.html
David E DeMarle seems to have fixed the issue and suggested (scroll down
to about 80% of that page) that we should use the release-5.10 branch
from git, instead of the official 5.10.1 tarball:
http://www.vtk.org/gitweb?p=VTK.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/release-5.10
And that worked for me. (Actually I used the "snapshot" link to get a
tarball of the 2014-10-02 version, that seemed much easier than trying
to concoct a git hocuspocus incantation to get this branch.)
I am wondering why you did not run into this. Are you maybe using gcc
instead of clang? Or maybe the offending bits are optional code which I
happened to have enabled in ccmake, but you disabled it?
Then I used ITK 4.7.1, which mostly worked, except that for some reason
not all header files were copied to the install directory, and one of
the vv programs needed them. After copying four ITK header files from
the source directory to the install directory, vv got built
successfully, after one more fix: I had to rename the ERR_SUCCESS enum
in tools/clitkPadImageGenericFilter.h because that happens to be a macro
#defined in a system include file:
########################################################################
In file included from
/Users/montecarlo/Software/Sarrut/vv/tools/clitkPadImage.cxx:3:
/Users/montecarlo/Software/Sarrut/vv/tools/clitkPadImageGenericFilter.h:38:7:
error: expected
identifier
ERR_SUCCESS = 0,
^
/usr/include/mach/error.h:79:22: note: expanded from macro 'ERR_SUCCESS'
#define ERR_SUCCESS (mach_error_t)0
########################################################################
Renaming the enum in the header file and in the few places where it wqs
actually used solved this problem.
I also built vv on a linux machine (ubuntu 14.04). There I could use VTK
5.10.1 without major problems, but I had the same header file issue with
ITK (with the same easy fix).
I did not yet try *running* vv on either linux or MacOSX.
That will probably come with new challenges & surprises. :)
Thanks,
