Hi


I get VTK to compile ok without the Tcl libraries, but I cannot get the carbon interactor to work. Forcing "iren->Start()" compiles and runs but I get exactly the same as with "% Mace -I" which is a nice plot but not interactive. Any ideas?


Second question is related to the Tcl libraries. I have installed the ones I grabbed from tcl.sourceforge.net, but I can't get the code to compile. Any help on installing the ones from the supplied link?


Thanks in advance, Ricardo

    hi,

    The test applications currently are not recognized by the window manager. For the test apps to receive events they require an 'app wrapper'.

    It was described in this manner on the vtk list,

    An app wrapper is is a collection of directories, top level ends in .app. Subdirectory
    Contents contains an Info.plist file and a MacOS directory. The MacOS
    directory contains the binary executable.

    The easiest way to get this going is to get an example application from
    Apples' sample software, download it, copy the .app directory, and replace
    its binary with your Mace binary for example. Then, when you execute the
    Mace binary, the app will launch, appear in the dock, and the window
    manager will properly send it events.

    Work is being done on the vtk build process to include this.
