bug-18603-VTK6.2changes

It would be nice to have it in the release, but there is a potential showstopper:

http://vtk.org/Bug/view.php?id=14598

Sascha already commented in VTK's gerrit review system about the proposed changes and currently it seems VTK is not planning to fix this before 6.2. Since our superbuild uses "make install" for the external projects we would need some workaround. For general compatibility checks, release build work though.

I tried a bit to fix this in VTK, but this does *not* work (in GUISupport/Qt/PluginInstall.cmake.in), since this is used to generate a post_install script in which generator expressions are not replaced:

FILE(INSTALL DESTINATION "${VTK_INSTALL_QT_PLUGIN_DIR}" TYPE SHARED_LIBRARY

FILES "${VTK_LIB_DIR}${VTK_LIBSUBDIR}/@CMAKE_SHARED_LIBRARY_PREFIX@QVTKWidgetPlugin@CMAKE_SHARED_LIBRARY_SUFFIX@$<$<CONFIG:Debug>:d>")

@Sascha: you looked at this as well in VTK's gerrit, any remarks?

The VTK we are currently using has the same issue. Our patch just "disables" the install command for the VTK Qt designer plug-in. This was a quick and dirty "solution".

VTK 6.2 was released a few days ago.

Everything works, except for mitkFiberExtractionTest:

334: check inside mask extraction[7.500] Unequal number of points in fiber 8!
334: [7.500] 2 vs. 3
334: [FAILED]
334: +--> in [...]/Testing/mitkFiberExtractionTest.cpp, line 103, expression is false: "inside->Equals(testFibs)"
1/1 Test #334: mitkFiberExtractionTest ..........***Failed 7.53 sec

Peter, could you check this?

Why is the needs_core_modification flag necessary?

because of very minor fixes in mitkSurfaceVtkMapper3D:

replace vtkOpenGLPolyDataMapper with vtkPainterPolyDataMapper
