[vtkusers] Mac OS X 10.5.6: Compiling VTK 5.2.1 with X11 and Tcl

[Michael Rullmann]

Hey list,


I try to compile VTK  with X11 and Tcl support to be able to use KWWidgets and the vtkInria3D Add-Ons.
But I get stuck at 96%:

It seems to be a problem with OpenGL, which is set as following in cmake:

OPENGL_INCLUDE_DIR               /usr/X11R6/include
OPENGL_gl_LIBRARY                /System/Library/Frameworks/OpenGL.framework
OPENGL_glu_LIBRARY               /System/Library/Frameworks/AGL.framework
OPENGL_xmesa_INCLUDE_DIR         /usr/X11R6/include


Any suggestions how to solve this issue?


Best, Michael
