#21186: vtk5 +carbon +python variants fail to build on Snow Leopard -----------------------------------+---------------------------------------- Reporter: stefan.janecek@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 1.8.0 Keywords: | Port: vtk5 -----------------------------------+---------------------------------------- Comment(by jjstickel@…): OK, so I am the creator/maintainer of the mayavi port. However, I am not a programmer by trade and a bit of hack for the stuff I figure out on my own ;). After much trial and error, I found that carbon was needed for vtk5 in order for mayavi to work. I am not completely sure, but I think this is because wxwidgets is compiled with carbon. If we can get wxwidgets and wxpython to be cocoa, then I think vtk5 with cocoa will be OK with mayavi. BTW, I made the mayavi port to go with python-2.5 simply because there looked to be a more complete set of python modules with py25 than with py26. Creating a py26-mayavi port that depends on cocoa-based dependencies might be the way to proceed. I am still on Mac OS 10.4, and don't want to touch my working mayavi until I upgrade to 10.6 later this year. Someone else will have to work on these issues in the meantime. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/21186#comment:8> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
