[vtkusers] compilation failure on OSX

[Bernard Giroux]

Hi,

This is my first experience with VTK.  I'm trying to build the CVS  
library on my system (OS X 10.4.3, XCode 2.2).  I would like to use  
the java interface.  I configured ccmake as follows:

BUILD_EXAMPLES                   OFF
BUILD_SHARED_LIBS                ON
CMAKE_BACKWARDS_COMPATIBILITY    2.2
CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE
CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX             /usr/local
VTK_DATA_ROOT                    VTK_DATA_ROOT-NOTFOUND
VTK_USE_CARBON                   OFF
VTK_USE_CG_SHADERS               OFF
VTK_USE_COCOA                    ON
VTK_USE_GLSL_SHADERS             OFF
VTK_USE_PARALLEL                 OFF
VTK_USE_RENDERING                ON
VTK_USE_RPATH                    ON
VTK_USE_X                        OFF
VTK_WRAP_JAVA                    ON
VTK_WRAP_PYTHON                  OFF
VTK_WRAP_TCL                     OFF

(I search the archives, where I only found that I should select cocoa  
rather than carbon when using the java wrapper.)


I get these errors when compiling:

Any help appreciated.
