[vtkusers] MacOS X - carbon,cocoa,x11, which?

[Drew McCormack]

Hi John,

I don't know if you saw this in the archives, so here it is again.

A few weeks back, an article of mine was published on MacDevCenter, 
about installing VTK for
use with Cocoa. It doesn't answer all your prayers, but it is a start. 
Most people
have been able to get a successful VTK build using the guidelines with 
a few additions, namely,

(a) That you turn off the testing and examples, and
(b) You download CMake 1.4.7, and not the erroneously mentioned 1.4.5 
from the article.

Here is the URL:
http://www.macdevcenter.com/pub/a/mac/2003/02/11/dev_osx.html

Part 2 of the article is still coming (sigh), but they have promised it 
will be published.

Hope this helps,
Drew McCormack
