[vtkusers] tcl/tk include problem

[Server Levent Yilmaz]

Hi, 

I, a newbie, am trying to install VTK on Cygwin with python support
(see footnote for versions). I closely followed the instructions on
README.html and set the correct paths for TK includes and libs with
ccmake. (it was not instructed to set a path for TCL_INCLUDE_PATH, but
I did that regardless...)

However, (eventhough I made sure that I entered the correct paths),
while building of Rendering routines I had "No such file" error:

/home/levent/install/VTK/VTKBuild/Rendering: building default_target
Building dependencies. cmake.depends...

Well, TCL inludes are neither in the default INCLUDE path (is this the
case with other systems?) nor a part of $INCLUDE_FLAGS in
VTK/VTKBuild/Rendering/Makefile; therefore comes the error.

As a workaround I modified the cmake generated
VTK/VTKBuild/Rendering/Makefile, adding
"-I/usr/src/tcltk-20030901-1/tcl/generic" to $INCLUDE_FLAGS variable.
Probably not a good way to go but it helped and the build completed
successfully.

Is this a general problem or some misconfiguration of my system?

thank you,
