VTK/QT is a library that connects vtk with QT http://carol.wins.uva.nl/~dshamoni/VtkQt/ . It is needed by future versions of labplot for example and should be in portage. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
Created attachment 51458 [details] VTK 4.4 ebuild This is a VTK 4.4 ebuild I used to install MayaVi
Created attachment 61698 [details] vtk-4.4-r1.ebuild
Comment on attachment 61698 [details] vtk-4.4-r1.ebuild Had to add BUILD_SHARED_LIBS option to get VTK installed
I get the following error message when trying to emerge vtk-4.4-r1: CMake Error: This project requires some variables to be set, and cmake can not find them. Please set the following variables: PYTHON_INCLUDE_PATH PYTHON_LIBRARY
Will VtkQt work with vtk-4.2.x? A casual look at their webpage says it will. If so, then we already have a vtk-4.2.6 ebuild in the tree (see bug #25335). I'm not against the developement of a vtk-4.4.x ebuild, just wondering what it has to do with this bug?
The homepage mentioned in comment #0 no longer exists.
The most recent vtk in portage (vtk-5.0.0) has qt3/qt4 support hence I don't think this bug is valid any more unless I misunderstand what vtkQt is supposed to do. Does anybody object if I close this bug as invalid? Thanks, Markus
I think that VtkQt (and various other similar projects) are distinct from the qt bindings included with vtk (at least in vtk 4.2.x, the last version I have any (limited) experience with). It is my understanding that VtkQt provides an Qt widget (though what this accomplishes that cannot be done with the "official" qt binding I'm not sure). Anyway, I would still vote for closing invalid.
The link to VTK/Qt posted originally is dead so I am not even sure if the package exists any more. Hence, I am closing this bug. Please re-open with updated info should there still be a real need for the package. Best, Markus
