Revision as of 00:28, 7 December 2012
We are moving the ActiViz .NET source code into the VTK tree under a new Wrapping/CSharp directory.
Stay tuned here for more information, coming soon.
A gerrit topic is now under review for inclusion in VTK 'master':
To build VTK with C# wrapping turned on, you should:
- git fetch/checkout/pull the topic from gerrit (follow the above topic link)
- configure it with CMake 2.8.8 or later (preferably the recently released 2.8.10)
- use Visual Studio 2005 or 2008
- have mummy and gccxml built and available for use
- turn on VTK_WRAP_CSHARP
- set AVDN_BUILD_CSHARP_DEBUG to ON if you are going to build a Debug build, and to OFF if you are going to build a Release build
Current directions for building ActiViz .NET are found on the Kitware web pages at http://www.kitware.com/opensource/avdownload.php They still largely apply to VTK with C# wrapping turned on.
The latest patch set in the latest change set of the gerrit topic now includes these items (Dec. 06, 2012):
- enable building the testing and examples (eliminate the early "return()" in the CMakeLists and the comment near it)
- eliminate the "if(0)" chunk
- eliminate the CMake code associated with "abstract" -- it's unused
- rename local CMake vars from "kit" to "module"
- fix indentation near target_link_libraries
- rename "CopyLibraries2" in the CMake code
Here is a TO DO list of items that should be addressed before (or soon after) we merge this topic to VTK 'master':
- remove the 3+ M Users Guide, and replace it with a text file that points to the one in the existing activizdotnet.git repo
- include a README file in Wrapping/CSharp that has the directions for building
- mention installing gccxml "as admin" in prerequisites
- mention using sn to disable strong name validation so mummy and ActiViz tests pass without being strong name signed
- vtkImageData - make the old code work with new methods (something changed since 5.8...)
Address Dave DeMarle's review comments from Dec. 4, 2012: His suggestions are:
- replace that pdf with a link to it because it is out of date and large
- explain what you need to know in order to build it somewhat like the prerequisites section of http://www.kitware.com/opensource/avdownload.php
- expand on how to deal with the required crypto sign
- use PYTHON_EXECUTABLE instead of PYTHON_EXE because the rest of VTK uses that
