#19492: vtk5 needs xorg-server and libGL
-------------------------------+--------------------------------------------
Reporter: jjstickel@… | Owner: macports-tickets@…
Type: defect | Status: new
Priority: Normal | Milestone:
Component: ports | Version: 1.7.1
Keywords: x11prefix | Port: vtk5
-------------------------------+--------------------------------------------
vtk5 is sensitive to the versions of the X11 and opengl libraries that are
used. The most recent vtk5 port (as of 4/24/09) uses macports libX11 but
apple libGL (${x11prefix}/lib/libGL.dylib). This results in a Bus error
on Tiger. I found it was insufficient to simply use the opengl libraries
provided by the mesa port (${prefix}/lib/libGL.dylib), which also resulted
in a Bus error. However, by also using X11.app provided by the port xorg-
server, it works! Attached is a patch for the Portfile to add xorg-server
as a dependency for Tiger and to specify the libGl in ${prefix}.
