BUG: VTK dport won't build

[julian9@…]

I tried to us port install VTK' to download and install VTK. But in the stage of running cmake' to generate VTK building files or so, it stops with following message:

## Running quote begin ##

$ port install VTK ---> Configuring VTK Error: Target com.apple.configure returned: shell command "cd /Users/julian/Develop/opendarwin/ darwinports/dports/graphics/vtk/work/VTK-4.2.1 && cmake" returned error 1 Command output: configure the project in the current directory, run

cmake .

Usage

cmake [options] <path-to-source> cmake [options] <path-to-existing-build>

Command-Line Options

-C<initial-cache> = Pre-load cmake cache from given file. -D<var>:<type>=<value> = Create a cmake cache entry. -G<generator-name> = Specify a makefile generator. -E = CMake command mode. -i = Run in wizard mode. -L[A][H] = List non-advanced cached variables. -N = View mode only. --copyright [file] = Print the CMake copyright and exit. --help [command] = Print usage information and exit. --help-full [file] = Print full help and exit. --help-html [file] = Print full help in HTML format. --help-man [file] = Print a UNIX man page and exit. --version [file] = Show program name/version banner and exit.

Generators

The following generators are available on this platform:

Code Warrior Not Working = Generates CodeWarrior project files. Unix Makefiles = Generates standard UNIX makefiles.

## running quote end ##

After looking at VTK's Portfile, I found that replace the line

configure { system "cd ${worksrcpath} && cmake" }

with

configure { system "cd ${worksrcpath} && cmake ." }

will solve the bug. It would be great if someone can update this Portfile.

Thanks.

Assign to port maintainer

Patch to the VTK Portfile that makes it compile

Won't build on OpenDarwin either, configure think it is MacOSX

Jordan has relinquished maintainership of these ports.

Jordan has relinquished maintainership of these ports.

Can I request the maintainership of VTK dport here?

Julian (julian9@…) has taken this port, so I'm reassinging this bug to him.

Latest version Portfile and patches for Tiger

[yves@…]

build -d log

[yves@…]

Everything you need to install vtk-4.2.6 on tiger !

[yves@…]

everything again !

The patches seem to build okay on my end. I wonder if the LatestRelease issue is even a problem. If the archive has changed, then the MD5 sum should fail. Another approach might be to fall back to the existing files still left at ​http://www.vtk.org/files/release/4.2/moved_to_sourceforge/ on Kitware's site.
