[vtkusers] VTK does not compile on AIX

[Martin Stenzel]

Hi there,

since I want to install "slicer" I am in need of installing VTK version
4.0 (Version 4.2 not (yet) supported).
My system is AIX 4.3.3 (running on an RS/6000). I am using the GNU tools
(gcc, g++) IBM provides with the Toolbox.
I downloaded the official Linux version and jumped into the source tree.
I defined my compiler by pointing CC and CXX to the appropriate programs.
Well, cmake (version 1.4.7) works fine (I activated Tcl) and some
libraries are built
(e.g. libvtkCommon.so, libvtkCommonTCL.so, libvtkpng.so) to name a few.
However, the build does not complete:

g -I/scratch/tmp/VTK/Imaging -I/scratch/tmp/VTK/Graphics
-I/scratch/tmp/VTK/IO -I/scratch/tmp/VTK/Utilities/zlib
-I/scratch/tmp/VTK/Utilities/png -I/scratch/tmp/VTK/Utilities/jpeg
-I/scratch/tmp/VTK/Common/Testing/Cxx   -c

make: 1254-004 The error code from the last command is 1.


I am not really into C programming, what went wrong?


Many thanks in advance,
