#19000: vtk 5.4.0 (vtk-devel) ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Reporter: dweber@… | Owner: dweber@… Type: enhancement | Status: assigned Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 1.7.0 Keywords: VTK vtk | Port: vtk5 vtk-devel ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Comment(by dweber@…): Should be able to checkin a new revision this week. Currently have tcl, python, java wrapping working with cocoa (although no extensive testing of all the functionality has been done). At this point, all the build and installation routines are coming along well. Tested: vtk-devel @5.4.0_0+cocoa+darwin_9+data+doc+examples+java+py26+shared+tcl+testing Testing today: vtk-devel @5.4.0_0+cocoa+darwin_9+data+doc+examples+java+py25+shared+tcl+testing In the course of testing the py26 variant, discovered a VTK-5.4 egg in the python 2.6 framework site-packages (not sure where it came from, maybe specific to my system or another py26 port is trying to provide vtk). That egg did not work because it didn't link the .so libraries with an rpath. The extra egg was overriding the install from this package, somehow. After removing the other egg, this variant install works ($prefix/bin/vtk-5.4-python26 works, and ipython -> import vtk works). Renaming the $prefix/bin/vtk to $prefix/bin/vtk-5.4-tcl/. Other binaries in $prefix/bin (eg, vtkWrap*) may be renamed too, if it will not interfere with functionality. If it does, the actual binaries my be renamed and symlinks can be created for version specific defaults (maybe part of a vtk_select port). -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/19000#comment:20> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
