pcl fails to compile using vtk 6.0 on OS X 10.9

[tanuva]

PCL from git is supposed to build against vtk 6.0: http://www.pcl-users.org/vtk-error-when-making-PCL1-7-from-source-td4029769.html
This is a patched vtk recipe for OS X 10.9 that I used: https://raw.github.com/jenshnielsen/homebrew-science/vtk6mavericks/vtk.rb

Is it necessary to wait for a new pcl release or could reciping the git version work?

Error: pcl did not build

[wjwwood]

I haven't switched to 10.9 yet so I can't test this, it looks like people have been getting pcl to compile though, just from what I have been seeing in ROS answers and the PCL mailing list.

[woody242]

Greetings, I am seeing the same issue as was in #24021 as well. Looks like my vtk.vb matches the above, has anyone had success with this?

Thanks,
Woody

[JetForMe]

Not that I know of.

VTK 6.0 has made a few changes that do not appear to be in the codebase for PCL yet: http://vtk.org/Wiki/VTK/VTK_6_Migration_Guide including SetInputData, AllocateScalars, and vtkCommonCore.

[pkmital]

this branch may the only up to date one for vtk 6.0: https://github.com/fran6co/pcl.git - follow this thread for more updates: PointCloudLibrary/pcl#363

[fran6co]

@tanuva try to use https://github.com/fran6co/homebrew-cv instead. It builds with vtk5 in mavericks, I'll update it to vtk6 when PointCloudLibrary/pcl#363 gets merged.

[headart]

I just tried install pcl from homebrew-cv and it gives the following error.

brew install pcl --HEAD --with-tests --with-examples
==> Cloning https://github.com/PointCloudLibrary/pcl.git

Error: Failure while executing: git reset -q --hard origin/HEAD

[fran6co]

There is something weird in your environment. You could try to kill this folder:

/Library/Caches/Homebrew/pcl--git

[translunar]

@pkmital and others: FYI, @fran6co's branch does not yet appear to work with vtk6. I tried. I get "Error 2" without it actually saying what the error is. It may be a me-specific problem, but I attempted to make it with with vtk6 because of your comment — so I thought I should clarify for others who might attempt the same.

[fran6co]

No, it doesn't work with vtk6 because PointCloudLibrary/pcl#363 wasn't merged yet. When that gets merged I'll enable vtk6 support for the formula.

[translunar]

It's not working for me with vtk5 either.

brew install -vd pcl --HEAD --with-openni --with-qt

Same error for both, I think:
