When compiling the latest OCC:

against VTK V9.2.6,I got this error:

It seems that some vtk macros don’t get recognized,and I have tried to add this:

include_directories("/usr/local/include/vtk-9.2")

into
/home/user/OCCT/adm/cmake/vtk.cmake,

but got no luky,Question is:

Can this issue be fixed by modifying vtk.cmake?
If yes,how?

Looks like an opencascade issue.

Maybe,but same OCC code can be compiled with vtk-9.1 successfully.

Hello,

I’m using VTK 9.1 and I found that vtksys_EXPORT is defined in vtksys/Configure.h which is the header used for C. So, please, check whether your final vtksys/Configure.hxx #includes vtksys/Configure.h. If not, VTK’s CMake scripts are likely not generating the former correctly from Utilities/KWSys/vtksysConfigure.hxx.in in VTK source directory, which, in turn, must have these lines:

/* Include C configuration.  */
#include <@KWSYS_NAMESPACE@/Configure.h>

take care,

PC

The core error is that Status is #define’d by X11 headers. The “proper” fix is to reorder the includes so that VTK headers come before X11 headers. Newer VTK has checks that detect and error in this case.
