[vtkusers] vcpkg

[Róbert Špir]

Today I will try to modify the portfile to add qt5 dependency and build vtk with qt support and then after testing I will make a pull request.

 

Best,

Robert

Since Qt is available through this system, I agree with Dzenan: It makes sense to make these depend on each other.

I have always built VTK with Qt support, and ITK with VTK-glue. Perhaps we could make those libraries dependencies: ITK depends on VTK, and VTK depends on Qt?

 

Róbert, do you intend to make a PR for your additions to vcpkg?

 

Regards,

Dženan

I made a simple portfile [1] for VTK to vcpkg and it seems that it works. At least I was able to build and run the sphere VTK example.

Only problem that I see is that VTK has large number of build configuration options and I don’t know how this could be handled with vcpkg (for example optional QT support).

If there is no undergoing effort to "port" VTK to vcpkg, we could go ahead and add ITK with VTKGlue disabled. Once VTK is added, we could turn on VTKGlue and make VTK a dependency.

 

P.S. I originally cross-posted this to ITK and VTK developers lists, but since I am only subscribed to VTK-users my message was bounced from VTK-developers. Hence this "merge" message including Francois' response.

to me, vtk-developers, ITK



Never heard of it before. It does look interesting. We could try to estimate how much work it would be to port ITK (and VTK?)  to that platform. Since it supports CMake [1], it may not be much work.

CPack would likely need to support it first. Moving VTK over to the new
superbuild would also help there.
