[vtkusers] Can't compile 5.2.1, CVS. fixed Bug in Cmake scripts with 64bit systems

Wed Mar 25 12:31:25 EDT 2009

I started from a clean binary tree. I'm really not doing anything
particularly deviant... fresh Ubuntu 8.10 install (I later upgraded to
9.04).. downloaded VTK 5.2.1 (also tried CVS), enable Python, compile. I
didn't change around the compiler after running cmake. I only have the one
version on my system (4.3.3 bundled with ubuntu 9.04). I ran "cmake ../"
just last night and witnessed it scroll by:

-- Checking if ostream supports long long -- no

I was reading about the use of "long long" vs "long long signed int" and
thought that perhaps gcc was being strict and only supporting the later.
That would explain why the test failed. Thus I changed vtkTypeId from "long
long" to "long long signed int", flipped VTK_[I/O]STREAM_SUPPORTS_LONG_LONG
to 1, and rejoiced at the apparent success.

This morning I thought to check to see if perhaps the "long long"s were fine
and it was merely the test that was mis-reporting, so I reverted vtkTypeId
back to "long long" and had a successful compile. There's been some
discussion here as to whether or not "long long"s are indeed supported and
whether I might have just tricked the compiler, so I might switch back to
"long long signed int" just to be safe.

gcc -v

Thread model: posix
gcc version 4.3.3 (Ubuntu 4.3.3-5ubuntu4)

I'm no C++ programmer, and this bug has been absolutely killing me, because
I haven't been able to get VTK onto my new system for the past week. I would
usually delete my build directory completely in between build attempts in
order to get a completely fresh start. As I said, I very distinctly observed
"-- Checking if ostream supports long long -- no" scroll by last night which
led me to make the small change that finally got vtk to compile. When you
asked for me to try a fresh clean build, having done it umpteen times in the
past week and knowing full-well the result, I figured I'd humour you anyway.
That is why I was floored with what I got (see below). "long long" support
was detected. Sure enough, VTK_[I/O]STREAM_SUPPORTS_LONG_LONG is set to 1.
Not only that, but I was subsequently able to build VTK without trouble. CVS
worked fine too.

Nothing has changed since last night and today other than that I had the
successful compile after my initial trick, and I rebooted. I only have the
one OS-installed version of GCC on my computer. I can only surmise that when
I forced VTK_OSTREAM_SUPPORTS_LONG_LONG=1 initially, added a compile flag
which in turn did something to add permanent support for istream/ostream <<
long long.

Perhaps "long long" in the VTK code should be changed to "long long int" in
the code anyway?

I'm way out of my area of expertise here. Hope this information helps.
