Hi! Thanks for your ITP bug regarding Paraview! I hope the packaging is going on well. I wonder if you managed to link Paraview against (and make it work properly with) libraries already packaged and included in Debian. Last time I checked, it seemed Paraview could not be linked with already installed libraries (without applying heavy modifications). I think that, from a maintainability/code-duplication point of view, shipping a special copy of VTK and TclTk just for Paraview would not be acceptable. Unfortunately though, last time I checked, Paraview shipped with special versions of those libraries that had to be recompiled: http://public.kitware.com/pipermail/paraview/2006-October/003881.html I hope the situation has improved in the meanwhile: for instance, Paraview was going to switch from TclTk to Qt and it seems this transition has already been completed... Is it now possible to easily link Paraview against an already installed copy of VTK? Or did you modify CMakeLists.txt in order to let Paraview compile and link against debianized VTK? -- http://frx.netsons.org/progs/scripts/refresh-pubring.html New! Version 0.6 available! What? See for yourself! ..................................................... Francesco Poli . GnuPG key fpr == C979 F34B 27CE 5CD8 DC12 31B5 78F4 279B DD6D FCF4
