Hi Anup,<div><br></div><div>Cross compilation of VTK is a very advanced topic. I've never cross-compiled VTK myself, so I definitely won't have all the answers, but I can give some pointers.</div><div><br></div><div>
You can see the reason for the failure here:</div><div><br></div><div><div>Linking C executable ../../../bin/H5make_libsettings</div><div>[ 1%] Built target H5make_libsettings</div><div>[ 1%] Generating ../H5lib_settings.c</div>
<div><b>../../../bin/H5make_libsettings: 1: ../../../bin/H5make_libsettings: Syntax error: word unexpected (expecting ")")</b></div><div><br></div><div>CMake is building an executable "H5make_libsettings" and is then trying to run it on your host... but of course this executable was compiled for your target and cannot run on your host. The VTK build uses a few of these little custom executables as part of its build process.</div>
<div><br></div><div>To do a cross-compile, you first need to do a native compile on your host machine to compile all of these little build tools. Don't ask me to list them all... I don't have such a list. Then, when you do your cross-compile (after you've done the native compile), you need to make sure that the natively-built executables that are needed during the build used in place of the cross-compiled ones. The following web page might help:</div>
