<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Does anyone know how I can use VTK 4.2 (or 4.4)
with Python 2.4? I've been having a miserable time trying to build Cable
Swig for the wrappers that I need.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Here's my set up:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>OS: Windows XP
SP2</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>CMake: 2.2.2</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>CableS: 2.2 (also CVS version
both have same issues)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial
size=2>VTK: 4.2</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Python: 2.4</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Compiler: Microsoft Visual C++ Express (aka Visual
Studio 8 Express)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Additional Notes: VC Express lacks some
critical header and lib files. After consulting the related docs on MSDN,
I added the bin-lib-include files from the latest PlatformSDK to VC8E.
This solved some problems (like lack windows.h file) but many issues
remain. I also have Mingw and Cygwin installed (not actively in the
path). Seeing how most of the problems are with gcc and gccxml branch of
Cable, I added the Mingw bin-lib-include files to be used *after* the MS
files...no change that I could notice. I actually have a working
Mingw/MSYS development environment (which includes the standard gcc, g++,
gccxml, etc), so if there is a way to get VTK built with that while still being
able to use the VC8E for my own VTK programs, I will
listen.</FONT></DIV></FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
