[vtkusers] Performing Test Support for 64 bit file systems: Failed

[Bryn Lloyd]

Hi David

 

Thanks a lot for the reply.

 

No, there is no issue that I have noticed. 

 

I was simply surprised by the message and wanted to know if this might lead
to instability or other problems.

 

Regards

Bryn

Hi Bryn,

 

S_ISREG is a POSIX macro and will likely never compile with Visual Studio.
The output from cmake is for system introspection so that the build system
knows what resources the compiler tool chain has available. This test simply
is looking for specific POSIX functionality and more likely shouldn't even
be run when building with Visual Studio.

 

It should be safe to ignore this message when using Visual Studio unless it
is causing some other issue?

Hi

 

 

I was building VTK 5.8 for my system (Windows 7 64-bit, Visual Studio 2010,
CMake 2.8.x).

 

I noticed there is a suprising message in the output of cmake at
configuration time:

 

-- Performing Test Support for 64 bit file systems

-- Performing Test Support for 64 bit file systems - Failed

 

What does it mean? How can I resolve this issue? Why does the test fail?

 

 

I noticed in my previous installation of VTK 5.6.1 I also had this message.

 

Thanks

Bryn

 

 

Ps. This is how I configured VTK in a batch file:

 

cmake -G "Visual Studio 10 Win64" ^

-DPYTHON_EXECUTABLE=%PYTHON_DIR%/python.exe ^

-DPYTHON_INCLUDE_DIR=%PYTHON_DIR%/include ^

-DPYTHON_LIBRARY=%PYTHON_DIR%/libs/python27.lib ^

-DVTK_WRAP_PYTHON=ON ^

-DVTK_USE_TK=OFF ^

-DVTK_USE_GUISUPPORT=OFF ^

-DVTK_USE_RENDERING=ON ^

-DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=ON ^

-DBUILD_TESTING=OFF ^

Here is the section in the log file:
