Introduction to VTK

The Visualization ToolKit (VTK) is a software system for 3D computer graphics, image processing, and visualization. VTK consists of a C++ class library, and several interpreted interface layers including Tcl/Tk, Java, and Python.

Dependencies

Required

• CMake

Recommended

• OpenGL libraries provided by MesaLib, FreeGLUT, and/or your graphics processor vendor.
• libjpeg
• libpng
• FreeType

Optional

• Python
• GNUplot
• JDK
• TCL
• Tk
• Subversion
• CVS
• Expat
• Doxygen

Configuration Information

VTK uses cmake to create a build environment. Configuration is interactive.

Non-Multilib

Apply a patch and fix hardcoded X11 paths:

patch -Np1 -i ../VTK-5.0.2-fixes-1.patch &&
sed -i -e 's@/usr/X11R6/@${XORG_PREFIX}/@g' \
 CMakeLists.txt \
 Utilities/ftgl/CMakeLists.txt

Compile the package:

mkdir ../VTK-build &&
cd ../VTK-build &&
ccmake ../VTK

Toggle to advanced mode by pressing [t]. As you alter options in the configuration, you will be presented with new and exciting choices after pressing [c]. When you have configured VTK to your liking, press [g] to generate and save build environment.

For some reason VTK doesn't want to find libjvm.so even though it is set during the configuration. Set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable and install the package:

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=</path/to/libjvm.so> && 
make install

Multilib

32Bit

Apply a patch and fix hardcoded X11 paths:

patch -Np1 -i ../VTK-5.0.2-fixes-1.patch &&
sed -i -e 's@/usr/X11R6/@${XORG_PREFIX}/@g' \
 CMakeLists.txt \
 Utilities/ftgl/CMakeLists.txt

Compile the package:

mkdir ../VTK-build &&
cd ../VTK-build &&
CC="gcc ${BUILD32}" CXX="g++ ${BUILD32}" ccmake ../VTK

Toggle to advanced mode by pressing [t]. As you alter options in the configuration, you will be presented with new and exciting choices after pressing [c]. When you have configured VTK to your liking, press [g] to generate and save build environment.

For some reason VTK doesn't want to find libjvm.so even though it is set during the configuration. Set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable and install the package:

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=</path/to/libjvm.so> && 
make install

N32

The multilib patch includes the changes from the "fixes" patch. Apply the multilib patch:

patch -Np1 -i ../VTK-5.0.2-multilib-1.patch &&
sed -i -e 's:@@MULTILIB_LIB@@:lib32:g' \
 CMakeLists.txt \
 Utilities/ftgl/CMakeLists.txt \
 Utilities/kwsys/SystemTools.cxx \
 Utilities/TclTk/lib/CMakeLists.txt \
 Wrapping/Python/vtkPythonAppInit.cxx \
 Wrapping/Python/PythonInstall.cmake.in \
 Wrapping/Tcl/vtkTkAppInit.cxx

Fix the hardcoded X11 paths:

sed -i -e 's@/usr/X11R6/@${XORG_PREFIX}@g' \
 CMakeLists.txt \
 Utilities/ftgl/CMakeLists.txt

Compile the package:

mkdir ../VTK-build &&
cd ../VTK-build &&
CC="gcc ${BUILDN32}" CXX="g++ ${BUILDN32}" ccmake ../VTK

Toggle to advanced mode by pressing [t]. As you alter options in the configuration, you will be presented with new and exciting choices after pressing [c]. When you have configured VTK to your liking, press [g] to generate and save build environment.

For some reason VTK doesn't want to find libjvm.so even though it is set during the configuration. Set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable and install the package:

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=</path/to/libjvm.so> && 
make install

64Bit

The multilib patch includes the changes from the "fixes" patch. Apply the multilib patch:

patch -Np1 -i ../VTK-5.0.2-multilib-1.patch &&
sed -i -e 's:@@MULTILIB_LIB@@:lib64:g' \
 CMakeLists.txt \
 Utilities/ftgl/CMakeLists.txt \
 Utilities/kwsys/SystemTools.cxx \
 Utilities/TclTk/lib/CMakeLists.txt \
 Wrapping/Python/vtkPythonAppInit.cxx \
 Wrapping/Python/PythonInstall.cmake.in \
 Wrapping/Tcl/vtkTkAppInit.cxx

Fix the hardcoded X11 paths:

sed -i -e 's@/usr/X11R6/@${XORG_PREFIX}@g' \
 CMakeLists.txt \
 Utilities/ftgl/CMakeLists.txt

Compile the package:

mkdir ../VTK-build &&
cd ../VTK-build &&
CC="gcc ${BUILD64}" CXX="g++ ${BUILD64}" ccmake ../VTK

Toggle to advanced mode by pressing [t]. As you alter options in the configuration, you will be presented with new and exciting choices after pressing [c]. When you have configured VTK to your liking, press [g] to generate and save build environment.

For some reason VTK doesn't want to find libjvm.so even though it is set during the configuration. Set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable and install the package:

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=</path/to/libjvm.so> && 
make install
