Re: Optional libraries (VTK, Eigen)

 

I've installed Eigen on my computer, and scons with CPP='/usr/include/eigen2'.  It's ok. :)  However, I couldn't link VTK properly.  First I tried adding vtk to features='gts, openmp, etc..., vtk'.   Scons prompted me to remove it, and include CPPPATH=/usr/include/vtk-5.4
I followed the instruction.  In the end, I get this:

         Checking for gts_object_class() in C++ library gts... no
         ERROR: Unable to compile with optional feature `gts'.
         If you are sure, remove it from features (scons features=featureOne,featureTwo for example) and build again.

VTK seems to clash with gts.  What should I do to get VTK work?  Another question is my CPPPATH already has /usr/include/eigen2.   How do I write CPPPATH with 2 paths?


Yours,

CWBoon
