[vtkusers] Re: Missing VTK library, Mac OS X

[Theodore D. Sternberg]

OK, it's pretty clear that libvtkRenderingPythonTkWidgets.dylib was not
meant to be, on Mac OS X, at least not if you want Cocoa.  The question
is, why not, and is there a good alternative?

Here's the relevant text from Rendering/CMakeLists.txt:

IF (VTK_WRAP_PYTHON)
  IF (TK_LIBRARY)
     IF(NOT VTK_USE_COCOA)
       SET(RenderingPythonTkWidgets_SRCS
          vtkTkWidgetsInit.cxx
          vtkTkRenderWidgetPython.cxx
          vtkTkImageViewerWidgetPython.cxx
          )
         ADD_LIBRARY(vtkRenderingPythonTkWidgets SHARED
                     ${RenderingPythonTkWidgets_SRCS})
       TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES (vtkRenderingPythonTkWidgets
                              vtk${KIT}
                              ${TCL_LIBRARY}
                              ${TK_LIBRARY})
       INSTALL_TARGETS(/lib/vtk vtkRenderingPythonTkWidgets)
     ENDIF(NOT VTK_USE_COCOA)
  ENDIF (TK_LIBRARY)
ENDIF (VTK_WRAP_PYTHON)
