NEW: vtk5-5.0.2

[cssdev]

Original submission made by Rene Donner:

i just hacked together a portfile (not polished / intens-tested yet) for VTK 5.0.2, with python and x11 variants, heavily based on your portfile :-) (please find it attached)

yeah, took me several days to get this vtk beast up and running, too.... it only compiles with stock gcc 4.0.1, no macports gcc.... i happend to have gcc42 installed, and cmake stubbornly ignored any

configure.env-append CC=/usr/bin/gcc-4.0 CPP=/usr/bin/cpp-4.0

(perhaps we should include a warning message about this if gcc42 is installed)

btw, i needed vtk only to use ​mayavi2 , that's what i want to write a portfile for...

Due to API differences between VTK 4.x and VTK 5.x, adding this as a separate port should allow people to continue using the older version if needed.

User-submitted Portfile for VTK v5.0.2

[cssdev]

I would like to support all three windowing modes (Cocoa, Carbon, and X11), and I already have the changes required to do this. Also, some of the paths should use ${destroot} rather than hard-coded full paths. As per #4495, the install_name should be set on each ilbrary.

This would fix the issue presented by #3688, wouldn't it?

[cssdev]

No, this doesn't fix #3688. VTK4 uses a different API from VTK5. I have a lot of stuff that relies on the VTK4 API that has not yet transitioned to the VTK5 API. They should remain separate ports.
