Summary0013198: compilation problem for vtktkrenderwidget
DescriptionI compiled vtk-5.8.0 on mageia 2 64 bits with gcc-4.6.3.
An error is printed during compilation:
[ 67%] Building CXX object Rendering/CMakeFiles/vtkRenderingPythonTkWidgets.dir/vtkTkWidgetsInit.cxx.o
[ 67%] Building CXX object Rendering/CMakeFiles/vtkRenderingPythonTkWidgets.dir/vtkTkRenderWidgetPython.cxx.o
In file included from /home/collette/ARPACK/src/VTK/Rendering/vtkTkRenderWidgetPython.cxx:17:0:
/home/collette/ARPACK/src/VTK/Rendering/vtkTkRenderWidget.cxx: In function ‘int vtkTkRenderWidget_MakeRenderWindow(vtkTkRenderWidget*)’:
/home/collette/ARPACK/src/VTK/Rendering/vtkTkRenderWidget.cxx:1309:16: erreur: invalid conversion from ‘void*’ to ‘char*’ [-fpermissive]
make[2]: *** [Rendering/CMakeFiles/vtkRenderingPythonTkWidgets.dir/vtkTkRenderWidgetPython.cxx.o] Erreur 1
make[1]: *** [Rendering/CMakeFiles/vtkRenderingPythonTkWidgets.dir/all] Erreur 2

I added an explicit cast to char * at line 1309 and the compilation went fine.

self->RW = ckalloc(

needs to be

self->RW = (char *)ckalloc(

What versions of Tcl have "void *ckalloc()"? All the documentation that I've seen uses "char *ckalloc()".
