the flag YADE_VTK6 starts to generate a problem as the latext VTK is right now 7

[Luc OGER]

I am trying a new full installation on my linux Opensuse tumbleweed configuration
and I have downloaeded the latest VTK package from the vtk web site (7.0)
(previous try on opensuse was working fine).

for exemple in the subroutine /pkg/dem/VTKRecorder.cpp the flag YADE_VTK6 is defined to accept the change from older VTK to the 'new' version 6 by changing SetInput to SetInputData.
but the latest version available of VTK is the version 7 so either the cmake is not doing the good job or the flag selection has to be updated

so right now the compilation stop after 63%

Hi Luc,

Yade is really not a VTK7-friendly now. Most of
us are using Debian-based distributions, where VTK7
does not exist yet. I have doubths, whether it will
be uploaded in a near future (see discussion here [1]).
Self-compiled versions of VTK can cause more problems
as their packaged variants.

You can try to compile Yade without VTK support (-DENABLE_VTK=0)
to be sure, whether it is the only dependency problem on
OpenSuse.

Dear Anton,

The latest release of Opensuse uses by default python 3 coupled with VTK
7.0.0 but I can try to install the previous release of VTK 6.3.0 from
VTK web site

Previously I was able to compile Yade on my machine under Opensuse 13.2
(previous release) so I hope to find the possible couple of Opensuse
Tumbleweed, QT 4 or 5), Python and VTK able to work together....

thanks for your fast reply

Best Regards

Dear Anton,

second step :
I have modified the CMakelist.txt to accept the VTK version 7 and by
replacing EQUAL 6 by GREATER 5 in the if test line 505 and co. , the
make wanted correctly and the executable is working well.

So I guess that, without changing your idea about VTK, the modification
of the 505-511 to accept VTK 7 can be an improvement for other users.
