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

[Bill Detlefs]

Is it possible for Kitware to make information such as
below available in a more organized manner?  Perhaps a
much more detailed "Platform-specific" section of
their FAQ, that is updated frequently.

Thanks!

Hi John,

So, for simple instructions:

1. Get CMake (1.6.latest would be fine. Comes with gui
and everything)

2. Decide what widget set you will be using. If you
use some natively
widget set on OSX, then you do not have a choice. If
you use Tk, then
you need to use Carbon. If you use something else,
then pick
appropriate. I think for Cocoa you may need to explore
ObjectiveC++.

3. Run CMake on VTK source. Try to download VTK 4.2.
That one works
pretty good on OSX. 

4. Type make

And you are done.
We do this every night and it works fine for Cocoa and
Carbon.

                                Andy
