[vtkusers] Building examples on Mac OS 10 (Mac OS X)

[Bill Detlefs]

Hello all,

Can anyone tell me how to build the examples on Mac OS
X?

I have been able to build VTK following the steps
outlined at

http://www.macdevcenter.com/pub/a/mac/2003/02/11/dev_osx.html

Those steps included setting

BUILD_EXAMPLES:BOOL=OFF
VTK_USE_COCOA:BOOL=ON

in the CMakeCache.txt file.

If I change

BUILD_EXAMPLES:BOOL=OFF  to ON, then I don't seem to
end up with any executables for the examples.  I don't
know if this is related, but during compilation I get
the messages

ranlib: file:
/Users/wdetlefs/Develop/VTKBuild/bin/libvtktiff.a(tif_ojpeg.o)
has no symbols

ranlib: file:
/Users/wdetlefs/Develop/VTKBuild/bin/libvtktiff.a(tif_pixarlog.o)
has no symbols

as well as a bunch of warnings related to
vtkCocoaGLView.mm.  If I type "make" or "make install"
in the Examples directory, it says everything is up to
date, even though there are no executables for the
examples.

I also tried setting

BUILD_EXAMPLES:BOOL=ON
VTK_USE_COCOA:BOOL=OFF
VTK_USE_X:BOOL=ON

and got some similar compiler messages as above (but
not the warnings, if I recall correctly)

I don't really care if I build for Carbon, Cocoa, X11,
or whatever, I would just like to be able to type the
names of examples on the command line and have them
run.

I am running 10.2.3.  I have X11 installed.  Also, I
don't know if it matters, but I am running csh, not
tcsh.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
Bill
