Re: graphics/vtk & vtk-data 5.10.1

[Ray Phillips <r.phillips%uq.edu.au@localhost>]

I thought I'd report that Andrew, one of the OOF3D developers, came 
to the rescue with what turned out to be a trivial patch to the VTK 
5.10.1 source which allows it to build on NetBSD/amd64 6.1.5 -- 
trivial when you know which file to edit and where...

The cmake-3.0.1 and tk packages need to be installed.  (Without the 
tk package cmake complains "Tk was not found" even with the 
VTK_WRAP_TCL  option OFF.)

Execute `ccmake . -Wno-dev' and turn these options ON (they're 
sufficient for OOF3D anyway):

BUILD_SHARED_LIBS, BUILD_TESTING, VTK_USE_N_WAY_ARRAYS,
VTK_USE_PARALLEL, VTK_USE_RENDERING, VTK_WRAP_PYTHON.

Leave the other things "OFF".  It's OK to have the DATA_ROOT and 
LARGE_DATA_ROOT
be in the NOTFOUND state.

I found cmake's [g] option to generate the configuration and exit to 
the shell wouldn't appear until, for example, the BUILD_EXAMPLES 
option was turned ON then OFF again.  That's strange.

Back at the shell run  make  , su to root and run make-install
