[vtkusers] vtkCocoa crash, can't compile debug

[Chris Scharver]

Hello,

I've been trying to get VTK working with Cocoa again without much luck. Several of the other interface components I am using are using Cocoa, so I cannot compile with Carbon. There is a crash running the examples due to a pure virtual function. I tried to look at the source to see if this was just something that I may have overlooked. Is it the call to vtkOpenGLPolyDataMapper::ReleaseGraphicsResources() causing the error? This looks like a good bit lower than I have gone in the past. I'm wondering if it may be the instance of vtkWindow passed as an argument... perhaps it doesn't have a required function. Here's the trace from within gdb:

I tried to recompile VTK with -g so that full debugging would be enabled, but there seems to be a problem with CMake. I'm using CMake 1.4.7, but running cmake -i to set the values interactively, I set CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS:STRING=-g, but looking at CMakeCache.txt, this value somehow gets registered as CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH=-g! I'm not quite sure what may be happening here. I'm running MacOS X 10.2.3 with the December 2002 Developer Tools, and I'm using CMake 1.4.7 and the CVS VTK. I haven't had any previous trouble setting cmake values. Any ideas?

Thanks,
Chris
