[vtk-developers] cygwin build problems

Tue Feb 8 08:35:59 EST 2005

We do a dashboard with VTK and cygwin each night,
the cmake cache values used can be found in the
notes here:

http://www.vtk.org/Testing/Sites/DASH4.kitware/Win32-cygwin331/20050208-0300-Nightly/Notes.html

It is this build:
DASH4.kitware Win32-cygwin331   
You can find it here:
http://www.vtk.org/Testing/Dashboard/20050208-0300-Nightly/Dashboard.html

Looks like you are not setting all of the tcl/tk cmake variables you need,
as it is using the tk internals that come with VTK, and do not work with
cygwin.

Also, see the README.html found at the top of the VTK tree, and search for
cygwin install notes.
