VTK-6.1.0/CMake/FindNetCDF.cmake patch

Due to wrong path hits in VTK-6.1.0/CMake/FindNetCDF.cmake, NO_DEFAULT_PATH. configure fails finding the system netcdf-c++ libs and includs.

Quick fix is this attached patch and ebuild :-)

Build log of failed vtk build
Comment 5 Justin Lecher (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2015-08-23 13:40:10 UTC
which version of sci-libs/netcdf-cxx do you have installed?
Comment 6 Marius N Sletten 2015-08-23 14:14:19 UTC
sci-libs/netcdf: 4.3.2-r1


sci-libs/netcdf-cxx:  4.2-r300 at slot 3 and 4.2.1 at slot 0

vtk builds against libnetcdf_c++.so.4 from the 4.2-r300 version and both builds fine.

So 4.2.1 in slot 0 is not relevant with libnetcdf_c++4.so.

The only problem here was the macro, NetCDF_check_interface, inside FindNetCDF.cmake. Where find_path and find_library has  NO_DEFAULT_PATH as last parameter. 

I didnt check how NO_DEFAULT_PATH is set.
Comment 7 Marius N Sletten 2015-08-23 14:18:25 UTC
NO_DEFAULT_PATH=/usr/local
Comment 8 Justin Lecher (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2015-08-23 14:46:24 UTC
It works here, so I need to figure out what is different on your system.
Comment 9 Marius N Sletten 2015-08-23 16:35:44 UTC
On the top of  the FindNetCDF.cmake I addad a few lines:

if (NETCDF_INCLUDE_DIR AND NETCDF_LIBRARY)
  # Already in cache, be silent
  set (NETCDF_FIND_QUIETLY TRUE)
endif ()

message("NETCDF_CXX NETCDF_INCLUDE_DIR:  ${NETCDF_INCLUDE_DIR}")
message("NETCDF_CXX NETCDF_LIBRARY:  ${NETCDF_LIBRARY}")

where,
$ ebuild vtk-6.1.0-r1.ebuild configure

gives:

NETCDF_CXX NETCDF_INCLUDE_DIR:  /usr/local/include
NETCDF_CXX NETCDF_LIBRARY:  /usr/local/lib64/libnetcdf.so
-- Failed to find NetCDF interface for CXX
CMake Error at CMake/FindPackageHandleStandardArgs.cmake:97 (MESSAGE):
  Could NOT find NetCDF (missing: NETCDF_HAS_INTERFACES)

implying:

NetCDF_lib_dirs = /usr/local/lib64 using NO_DEFAULT_PATH)
and
NetCDF_lib_dirs = /usr/lib64 using DEFAULT_PATH

Same result with the find_path for NETCDF_INCLUDE_DIR inside the macro NetCDF_check_interface


And YES, I had a copy similar to  sci-libs/netcdf-4.3.2-r1 on /usr/local from a local git install of moose, http://mooseframework.org/.

Sorry, I didnt know!

These files are removed and the vtk ebuild in portage works fine now.

So the real problem here:

When a copy of  sci-libs/netcdf is placed in /usr/local then sci-libs/vtk requires sci-libs/netcdf-cxx to be installed at the same path. Not very PIC compatible.

Also, primary search paths, INCLUDES/LIBS, should come first if there's parallel installs of anything. Is there a USE-flag switch for this?

A little strange if you have your own modified copy of netcdf. I would still like to have a patch for the FindNetCDF.cmake in vtk to correct this.
Comment 10 Marius N Sletten 2015-08-23 21:09:44 UTC
Reproduce error by:

$ ln -s /usr/include/netcdf.h /usr/local/include/netcdf.h
$ cd /usr/portage/sci-libs/vtk
$ ebuild vtk-6.1.0-r1.ebuild configure

My use-flags:

USE="X boost doc ffmpeg imaging python qt4 rendering smp tbb theora views"
PYTHON_TARGETS="python2_7"

Un-CCing Java since this doesn't look like our battle.
