[vtkusers] Can't find _OBJC_CLASS_$_vtkCocoaGLView

[Scott Harris]

Yup. I've got VTK_USE_COCOA on. I had forgotten to include the IOKit framework in my project and for some reason, the linker was dying on the vtkCocoaGLView object. I don't understand, but the error is gone!

In addition, XCode was retaining library search paths that I didn't want it to look in. Deleting all the vtk .a files from my project and re-adding them from another folder (I was experimenting with 64 bit vs 32 bit versions of VTK)  caused the linker to use -L on both paths and things were getting confused. I had to manually remove the wrong search paths from the project.pbxproj file inside my XCode project. Weird. The search paths in XCode either don't stick for me or are too sticky.



Thanks,
-Scott
