[vtkusers] Building vtk underUbuntu 11.04 (Natty Narwhal)

[David Gobbi]

Hi Andrew,

I'd guess that CMake is unable to configure itself properly on natty.
In Rendering/CMakeLists.txt, there is this rule for vtkXOpenGLRenderWindow:

    IF (VTK_USE_X AND OPENGL_gl_LIBRARY)
      SET(KitOpenGL_SRCS ${KitOpenGL_SRCS} vtkXOpenGLRenderWindow.cxx)
      SET (KIT_LIBS ${KIT_LIBS} ${OPENGL_gl_LIBRARY} )
    ELSE (VTK_USE_X AND OPENGL_gl_LIBRARY)

and later there is this rule for Tcl + X11:

  IF(VTK_USE_X)
    SET(KitTCL_SRCS ${KitTCL_SRCS} vtkXRenderWindowTclInteractor.cxx)
    SET(KIT_TCL_LIBS ${KIT_TCL_LIBS} ${X11_LIBRARIES})
  ENDIF(VTK_USE_X)

What is the value of OPENGL_gl_LIBRARY in your CMakeCache.txt?

 - David
