vtk5-5.2.0 Missing library/path with python variant, build failure.

[macports.b@…]

Although vtk5 builds fine in its base variant, when I try to build it with +python, I first get this configure error:

---> Configuring vtk5
...
Command output: CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:420 (MESSAGE):
  VTK_WRAP_PYTHON requires BUILD_SHARED_LIBS to be ON.

So I changed the portfile line 44 to read:

configure.args	-DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS:BOOL=ON \

Then, the whole thing builds except that right at the end I get a build error linking the vtkpython executable:

[ 96%] Building CXX object Wrapping/Python/CMakeFiles/vtkpython.dir/vtkPythonAppInit.o
Linking CXX executable ../../bin/vtkpython
ld: library not found for -lhistory
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[2]: *** [bin/vtkpython] Error 1
make[1]: *** [Wrapping/Python/CMakeFiles/vtkpython.dir/all] Error 2
make: *** [all] Error 2

Error: Status 1 encountered during processing.

I can manually add -L/opt/local/bin to a bunch of the link.txt files, but this seems dirty. I'm not familiar with cmake so I didn't attempt to figure it out myself.

Thanks!

René no longer maintains vtk5, r44858.

I think I fixed this problem. Please update the source tree and try again. Note I made python and x11 default variants.
