Bug 396119 – sci-libs/vtk-5.8.0 version bump

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Alan Smithee 2011-12-26 18:49:16 UTC]

Version bump request for VTK 5.8.0. it is availabe from kitware since september 2011 but has not reached the portage yet. The new version has some nice new features and it would be nice to make gentoo capable to use them. Unfortunately i am not experienced enough to update the ebuild by myself, since the VTK ebuild looks quite complicated.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge =sci-libs/vtk-5.8.0
2.
3.
Actual Results:  
emerge: there are no ebuilds to satisfy "=sci-libs/vtk-5.8.0".


Expected Results:  
installing version 5.8.0

A number of things I have done for vtk in paraview 3.10.1 may apply here as well.
Sorry I didn't bump that one up in the overlay, I have quite busy. I may wait for paraview-3.12.1 before bumping it. .0 has some wrinkles (not as bad as 3.10.0 however).

Thank you very mich Justin. For my purpose I had to add SIP and HDF5 dependency. The HDF5 and SIP dependency is made optionally via useflag (hdf5 and python, respectively). Please take a look at the patch!

Thanksfor ehe patch. I forgot to add that.

[Comment 7 Alan Smithee 2011-12-27 21:07:47 UTC]

okay my fault... i was glad too early. Now i get compilation Error

sip: Unable to find file "QtCore/QtCoremod.sip"                                 
make[2]: *** [GUISupport/Qt/sipQVTKPythonQVTKWidget.cpp] Fehler 1
make[1]: *** [GUISupport/Qt/CMakeFiles/QVTKPython.dir/all] Fehler 2

I took a look at another machine and QtCoremod.sip belongs to PyQt4 and not
SIP. But how to overcome it now? I think making PyQt4 as dependency is overkill...

In paraview-3.10.1 I added PyQt4 as a dep (paraview was shipping with a pre-release of vtk-5.8). It may be avoided by making gui support optional. The Qt stuff is gui related so there is probably a cmake variable that can be toggled on or off.

[Comment 9 François Bissey 2011-12-27 22:53:24 UTC]

There is a
VTK_USE_GUISUPPORT 
variable try to turn that off and see if it works without PyQt4.

Unfortunately, that ebuild leads to a sandbox violation here :

This is bug #396297 now.

[Comment 12 Justin Lecher (RETIRED) 2011-12-29 11:39:23 UTC]

Sadly there is no option to disable hdf5 support. So it is now a mandatory dep now. I added the missing deps.

+  29 Dec 2011; Justin Lecher <[e-mail]> vtk-5.8.0.ebuild:
+  Add missing deps for hdf5 and PyQt4/sip support
