[vtkusers] Compiling VTK on AIX 4.3 with xlC

[John Norris]

Hi,

I'm having trouble compiling nightly VTK under AIX using the native
compilers.  One example is with vtkMath, in particular the function template
vtkDeterminant3x3 defined in vtkMath.h.  When compiling vtkMath.cxx, I get
the error shown below.  If I change line 566 in vtkMath.h from

static inline double vtkDeterminant3x3(T A[3][3])

to

inline double vtkDeterminant3x3(T A[3][3])

then it compiles fine.  I don't really want to search through VTK looking for
all of the static inline functions, so I'm hoping that someone has experience
with this and knows of a flag for xlC that'll fix this for me.  :^)

Thanks,
John
