[vtkusers] Solution : VTK compilation on Mac OS X with the Java Wrapping

[Sebastien Jourdain]

Hello,

I just wanted to post a solution to a common problem where it is 
difficult to find a clear answear.
I've also  updated the wiki to explain the tricky part here 
http://www.vtk.org/Wiki/Cocoa_VTK

So if you want to compile VTK on Mac OS X with the Java Wrapping you 
might get an error like the following one:

/building shared library 
///usr/local/src/VTK/bin/libvtkRenderingJava.dylib...
l//d: Undefined symbols:
//_JAWT_GetAWT

If so just add at the end of the line of the file Rendering/CMakeFiles/vtkRenderingJava.dir/link.txt
the following text without the double quote: "-framework JavaVM"
=> Thanks to /*Mike Jackson : http://www.vtk.org/pipermail/vtkusers/2007-January/089156.html*


The full procedure is described below:

Download : http://www.vtk.org/files/release/5.0/vtk-5.0.3.tar.gz

cd MY_INSTALL_VTK
tar xvfz vtk-5.0.3.tar.gz
mkdir build
mkdir bin
cd build
ccmake -i ../VTK

BUILD_SHARED_LIBS            ON

make

IF YOU GET THE Undefined symbols:/ _JAWT_GetAWT/  ERROR
edit the file Rendering/CMakeFiles/vtkRenderingJava.dir/link.txt and add 
: -framework JavaVM
at the end of the line. Then keep going.

make
make install

PS: On the CVS I have a problem with the compilation on the 
C++/ObjectiveC layer for the rendering.
If someone has a clue how to solve this error, he's welcome...

This is the error that I get with the CVS code when I compile without 
the java wrapping.
