[vtkusers] VolumePro1000 Compiling Problems

[Mathieu Malaterre]

Alex,

	No there is a misunderstanding, VolumePro 1000 is still fully supported 
in VTK CVS:

http://vtk.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/VTK/Rendering/vtkVolumeProVP1000Mapper.h

	But this is true that VP 500 was removed three months ago from CVS. 
Anyway they are both in VTK 4.2 branch.

Looking quickly at your code there seems to be a small problem:

Because we try to support all version we did this in 
vtkVolumeProMapper.h but apparently this is failing for you:

#if defined (VTK_HAVE_VP1000) || defined (VTK_FORCE_COMPILE_VP1000)
namespace vli3 {
#endif
class VLIContext;
class VLIVolume;
class VLILookupTable;
class VLILight;
class VLICutPlane;
#if defined (VTK_HAVE_VP1000) || defined (VTK_FORCE_COMPILE_VP1000)
}
using namespace vli3;
#endif

Are you sure you set VTK_HAVE_VP1000 with cmake properly ?

Thanks
Mathieu
