[vtk-developers] Guidance needed fixing problems doing 64bit compile on Mac OS X

[Sean McBride]

Hi again everyone,

As you may recall, I have an experimental nightly dashboard(*) of a 64
bit vtk on Mac OS X 10.4.  It currently does not compile, but is oh so
close.  The only error is:

"/.../VTK-64bit/Utilities/vtktiff/tif_fax3sm.c: No such file or directory"

The file is indeed not present; it is present for my other dashboards,
and the first line is "WARNING, this file was automatically generated by
the mkg3states program".

I think this boils down to a cross-compilation issue.  I've set
CMAKE_OSX_ARCHITECTURES:STRING=ppc64;x86_64 (I must specify 2 items else
it will simply build for the native i386).  My build machine is a 32bit
Intel CPU, and so it can't actually execute anything it's building.  I
suspect that's stopping tif_fax3sm.c from being created.

Any suggestions oh wise ones?

Thank you!
