Building VTK for Qt fails due to makefile error

Support
1

Hello,
I wanted to use QVTKOpenGLWidget in my Qt application. But I am unable to build VTK for Qt in the first place.
I am on Ubuntu 22.04, Qt version installed is 5.15.3, cmake is 3.22.1. I downloaded VTK-8.2.0 and its path is /home/developer/VTK-8.2.0.

  • I made a directory in it called build
  • Ran cmake-gui ..
  • These were some of my flags after I had configured for Unix makefiles:
* VTK_Group_Qt ON
* VTK_Group_Rendering ON
* VTK_Group_StandAlone ON
* VTK_PYTHON_VERSION 2
* VTK_QT_VERSION 5
* QT5_DIR /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/cmake/Qt5
* VTK_RENDERING_BACKEND OpenGL2
* BUILD_SHARED_LIBS ON
* CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE Release
* CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX /usr/local
  • I generated the Makefile from the cmake-gui
  • In the build directory I ran make -j8
  • It runs till 38% or 46% or 51% and gives error make: *** [Makefile 136: all] Error 2

I have also tried VTK_PYTHON_VERSION 3.6 with same result.

What am I doing wrong? If someone could be kind enough to help me

There is other error on top of that, please share them

VTK-8.2.0.

That is old
