py-mayavi: Cannot install with vtk 6.3.0

[enrico.piccinini@…]

After upgrading vtk to version 6.3, installation of py27-mayavi fails at build stage, pls see log attached (I am using the qt4 variant). Platform OS X 10.10.5 with Xcode 6.1 installed. Besides that, upgrade became necessary because the previous version opened with an exception error and some modules (e.g., scalar cut plane) did not work properly any longer, after moving to vtk6 from vtk5 (probably a bug in visualization toolkit?).

I'm not sure what you did to get these errors. You need to setup a local ports tree (see ​https://guide.macports.org/#development.local-repositories). Copy over the py-mayavi Portfile (with directory structure), apply the portfile patch (py-mayavi_Portfile.diff), and then put mayaviPR-247.diff in a "files" subfolder. Or just wait until developers commit these changes, but that could take awhile (a couple days to a couple months).

Problem fixed and port installed.
