[vtkusers] Instructions for Compiling VTK 5.0 with Java Wrappings on OS X 10.4.X

Mon Jul 3 10:22:19 EDT 2006

VTK Users:

The following instruction set allows MAC OS X tiger users to compile  
VTK 5.0 with Java wrappings.  This instruction set would not have  
been possible without the help of Mike Jackson.  Thanks Mike!!!

Folks let me know if there are any mistakes with the instructions or  
further clarification is necessary.

Thanks:

-Vivek

STEP 1:  Downloading Software

1. Java:  Make sure your JAVA is update go to your terminal app and  
type:

java -version

You should have at least build 1.5 patch 2

2.  Download the CMAKE Darwin Universal binary (Tiger only  
installer ) from:

http://www.cmake.org/HTML/Download.html

Install CMAKE by double clicking on the icon

3. Download the VTK source from:

  http://vtk.org/get-software.php

(Note:  The Latest Release (5.0.0) does not allow the java wrapping  
to work you need to get the source code via the CVS source-code  
repository)

Open the terminal app.  cd to /Users/user-name

type the following:

cvs -d :pserver:anonymous at public.kitware.com:/cvsroot/VTK login
(respond with password vtk)

cvs -d :pserver:anonymous at public.kitware.com:/cvsroot/VTK checkout VTK

You will see the source code and corresponding folders downloading in  
to a new folder called VTK

cd to that folder in my case the folder path is /Users/vivekd/VTK

STEP 2: Compiling VTK

1) Type ccmake ../vtk

2) Type c

3) Edit the list of options with the following:

4) Type c

5) Type t for advanced options:  Change the following

JAVACOMMAND

/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.5/Commands/java

JAVA_ARCHIVE

/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.5/Commands/jar

JAVA_AWT_INCLUDE_PATH

/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.5/Headers

JAVA_AWT_LIBRARY

-framework JavaVM -framework JavaEmbedding

JAVA_COMPILE

/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.5/Commands/javac

JAVA_INCLUDE_PATH

/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.5/Headers

JAVA_INCLUDE_PATH2

/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.5/Headers

JAVA_RUNTIME

/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.5/Commands/java

OPENGL_INCLUDE_DIR:PATH=/usr/X11R6/include

OPENGL_gl_LIBRARY:STRING=-framework OpenGL

OPENGL_glu_LIBRARY:STRING=-framework AGL

6) Type c then Type g

STEP 3:  Editing build.make

Go to  VTK/Wrapping/Java/CMakeFiles/VTKBuildAll.dir/
Using Text edit open the build.make file
Change the following:
cd /Users/vivekd/vtk/Wrapping/Java && /System/Library/Frameworks/ 
JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.5/Commands/javac -classpath /Users/vivekd/ 
vtk/java/vtk/.. -d /Users/vivekd/vtk/java/vtk/.. /Users/vivekd/vtk/ 
java/vtk/vtkBuildAllDriver.java

to

cd /Users/vivekd/vtk/Wrapping/Java && /System/Library/Frameworks/ 
JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.5/Commands/javac -J-Xmx256m -classpath / 
Users/vivekd/vtk/java/vtk/.. -d /Users/vivekd/vtk/java/vtk/.. /Users/ 
vivekd/vtk/java/vtk/vtkBuildAllDriver.java

STEP 4:  MAKE

At the command prompt in your terminal application go to the VTK  
directory in my case it is at /Users/vivekd/VTK

Type make and wait, on a MAC G5 it takes about 25 minutes to build  
the application.

STEP 5:  Editing or creating .tcshrc

My shell is the T shell.

You need to tell java where your .dylib and vtk.jar file is located

1) If you don’t have a .tcshrc file type emacs .tcshrc file

2) Add the following lines

setenv DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH /Users/vivekd/VTK/bin

setenv CLASSPATH .:/Users/vivekd/VTK/bin/vtk.jar

don’t forget the .: before the path to the vtk.jar file

3) exit emacs by typing ctrl x then ctrl c it will ask you if you  
want to save type y and hit return

4) at the command prompt type source .tcshrc

5) check to see if the paths were added by typing env

  STEP 6:  Testing with an example

Make sure you are in X11

Go to the Java examples which are located at /Users/vivekd/VTK/ 
Examples/Tutorials/Step*/Java

Type javac Step*.java

Type java Step*

* = 1,2,3,4,5
