[vtkusers] Activiz 6.2 with VTK-6.2 and .NET 4.0 Build Success

[Mark DeArman]

Mallikarjun,
 Your very welcome.  I hope they'll help someone else out.  I've been very 
excited about using Activiz in a project for years.  Since I was a kid 
stuck running BSD on mac68k I've always enjoyed the challenge of porting 
software, so I had a great time working on the build.
  
 gccxml generates the XML description of the C++ VTK library exports.  
Mummy reads these and generates the csharp wrapper files.  I really have 
not dug into it deep enough yet to know how the Activiz export layer source 
fits into the puzzle, but if I get some time, I'll see if my idea of adding 
a second build step can get rid of the VS2008/MSCRT9 dependency for the 
final library.

 Hi Mark,  
 Thanks for sharing the source directories. One quick question..if I am not 
wrong,the purpose of gcc-xml is to generate the xml descryption of c++ 
program, I found link https://github.com/dgobbi/WrapVTK  which has a 
generator for xml.
  
 Thank you.

to have VS2008 to do the build.
 I started to work on patching gccxml, but that was kind of a nightmare 
I'll leave to someone with more time.
 I am not a C++ template guru.
  
 But, the changes I've made build the binaries targeting .NET 4.0 instead 
of .NET 2.0. 
  
 Here is the link to the Source download directory.  I'm uploading it right 
now, so it will be a little bit.

   Hi Mark,    
   Can you send me the patched source directories. I want to make use of  
activiz 6.2 for vtk 6.2  with vs2013?
    
   Thanks

testing the build.
 VTK-6.2 built with Intel C++ 14.0
 Activiz 6.2 built with .NET 4.0
 Mummy 1.0.3 built with .NET 4.0
  
 If anyone else is having trouble getting this working, feel free to get in 
contact with me, I can send you my patched source directories.  This is my 
first experience with CMake, and I've got to say it sure made things a 
breeze.  
  
 The only thing which drove me nuts was the number of times a full rebuild 
got triggered after patching individual source files.  I wish the 
maintainers would remove the gccxml/mummy generate functions from the 
configure step, and just make it another build step.
  
  I hope I can get more involved with the project but I've got a lot of 
learning to do before I'd feel comfortable in CMake.
