[vtkusers] urgent: update VTK

[Renaud Isabelle]

Hi,
 
Thanks for your replies.
 
I think you are right: downloading only files I need obviously doesn`t work. I really would like to get the new release by CVS. 
 
However, by using both command shell and WinCvs, I don't manage to login to CVS. Here is the response: 
 
cvs -d :pserver:anonymous at public.kitware.com:/cvsroot/VTK login 
Logging in to :pserver:anonymous at public.kitware.com:2401:/cvsroot/VTK
cvs [login aborted]: connect to public.kitware.com:2401 failed: Aucune connexion n'a pu être établie car l'ordinateur cible l'a expressément refusée. 

In other words, it says that no connection could have been done because remote server refuses it.  Do you know why? There don't have any other way to get this new release? 

Unfortunately, in my lab, no one is using CVS..... :-(

Hi Isabelle,

You can't just download files that have been added to VTK since the 4.4 release and expect them to compile.  VTK has undergone many changes since that release (enough to have a new major version number).  If you want to use these new files, you will need to upgrade to a new version of VTK -- not just downloading new files you want to use one class at a time.  VTK 5.0 is not yet available for download from the web.  This means you'll need to use CVS (Concurrent Versions System) to get this new version.

If you are running on Windows, you can download WinCVS from here: http://www.wincvs.org . If you are running *nix, cvs is likely already on your system. In either case, you can specify VTK-5-0 as a tag so CVS knows what version of VTK to download.  For the command-line version of CVS, follow the instructions here: http://www.vtk.org/get-software.php#cvs.  When you do the checkout, use the -r flag to specify the version (as shown below).

cvs -d :pserver:anonymous at public.kitware.com:/cvsroot/VTK checkout -r VTK-5-0 VTK 

I've never used WinCVS, but you'll need to specify the same things to it that you would for the command-line version.  Is there anyone at your office that has used CVS before?  If so, they would be better equipped to help you learn how to use it.

Thanks. 
 
This is maybe ridiculous but how can I do this: downloading from CVS with the branch tag VTK-5-0? When I download a file from CVS, I just click on the download button from this site:
 
http://www.itk.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/?cvsroot=Insight
 
Revision 1.27 - ( view) ( download) ( as text) ( annotate) - [select for diffs] 
Tue Jul 19 17:55:47 2005 UTC (7 weeks, 6 days ago) by martink 
Branch: MAIN 
CVS Tags: HEAD, VTK-5-0-bp, VTK-PaintersShaders-bp, Widgets-Redesign-bp 
Branch point for: VTK-5-0, VTK-PaintersShaders, Widgets-Redesign 
Changes since 1.26: +2 -2 lines 
Di! ff to previous 1.26 
 
BTW, compilation seems to fail with vtkGarbageCollector called from vtkAlgorithm.... I am so confused that all day long I have been trying to compile my project.

   Hi Isabelle,


   I just downloaded from CVS with the branch tag VTK-5-0 and 

   after running CMake with just python bindings, it built without

   any trouble on Windows XP / VS7.


   Even though the 5.0 branch is under heavy development I do

   think it's a little safer than CVS HEAD.
