[vtkusers] [Re] vtk 4.2 (carbon) on MacOS X Tiger doesn't work

[Charlie Thornton]

I was able to eventually get a 4.2 derivative of VTK+Java+Tiger almost
working (there is evidently a video card bug I'm still fighting).  I fixed
some trivial compiler errors and did the following:

- use the 3.3 compiler: c++-3.3
- use Cocoa not carbon (though I didn't fully explore carbon)
- when the build breaks on NSObject.h add the CXXFLAG -ObjC++ (not before)
- in vtkJavaAwt.h:
	Change "JAWT_MacDrawingSurfaceInfo" -->
"JAWTMacOSXDrawingSurfaceInfo"
	Change "fQDWindow" --> "cocoaViewRef"
- Apply Eugene Kim's fixes for Java Wrapping on OSX (to get things to show
up)
- in the SetWindowId(void*) function of vtkCocoaRenderWindow, only set the
WindowId if the ContextId is NULL, otherwise just add the current WindowId
(a vtkCocoaWindow) as a subview of the one that got passed in (a
NSViewAWT?).

Good luck!  If you do get it working, I'd like to hear your story.

Sean,

It indeed looks like I might need luck, and a lot ;-(

I have tried to compile cvs VTK with Tiger (and Java
wrapping) for months now to no avail.

Your comments brought hope, but unfortunately I am
stuck again with one of the old bugs coming from using
gcc 4.0 (your message suggested that it should have
compiled fine with gcc 4.0, so I remove the hack from
CMakeDefaultMakeRuleVariables.cmake):

/usr/lib/gcc/powerpc-apple-darwin8/4.0.0/libgcc.a(_divdi3.o)
private external definition of ___divdi3 in section
(__TEXT,__text)
/usr/lib/gcc/powerpc-apple-darwin8/4.0.0/libgcc_s.dylib(_divdi3.o)
definition of ___divdi3


I will try to change the
CMakeDefaultMakeRuleVariables.cmake again (and add the

AND NOT APPLE hack) to where I go, but I do think I
will be stuck with a bunch of compile error again.

Sean, if you happen to have some libs for Mac (of the
cvs version), using Carbon (and hopefully Java), I'll
take them as I am quite desperate to see anything work
on Mac any day soon.

Otherwise, how do you precisely go about compiling it
under Tiger: do you midify the vtkJavaAwt.h, the
CMakeDefaultMakeRuleVariables.cmake, etc..???? 

Thanks very much for your contribution.
