[vtkusers] Custom VTK Cocoa window flickers gray on new macOS

[Alessandro Volz]

Hi again,

I actually came around and got the SimpleCocoaVTK example to build against my VTK libs. 

Is it supposed to just show a gray window with two "Do Something" buttons? I suppose not.

So, chances are, I'm building VTK the wrong way. Here is my CMake:

cmake /Users/ale/Work/VTK -DVTK_USE_X:BOOL=OFF -DVTK_USE_COCOA:BOOL=ON -DBUILD_DOCUMENTATION=OFF -DBUILD_EXAMPLES=OFF -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=OFF -DBUILD_TESTING=OFF -DCMAKE_OSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.11 -DCMAKE_OSX_ARCHITECTURES=x86_64 -DVTK_Group_StandAlone=OFF -DVTK_Group_Rendering=OFF -DModule_vtkIOImage=ON -DModule_vtkFiltersGeneral=ON -DModule_vtkImagingMorphological=ON -DModule_vtkImagingStencil=ON -DModule_vtkRenderingOpenGL2=ON -DModule_vtkRenderingVolumeOpenGL2=ON -DModule_vtkRenderingAnnotation=ON -DModule_vtkInteractionWidgets=ON -DModule_vtkIOGeometry=ON -DModule_vtkIOExport=ON -DModule_vtkFiltersTexture=ON -DModule_vtktiff=ON -DVTK_USE_SYSTEM_ZLIB:BOOL=ON -DVTK_USE_SYSTEM_EXPAT=ON -DVTK_USE_SYSTEM_LIBXML2=ON -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/Users/ale/Work/VTK-Install -DVTK_INSTALL_INCLUDE_DIR=include '-DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS=-w -fvisibility=default -stdlib=libc++ -std=c++0x'

Do you see anything suspicious?

Could you build the SimpleCocoaVTK on your mac, zip it up and send it to me, to test if the problem is at hardware level or at build level?

Best,

Alessandro
