Hi, just wanted to give you the heads up on how this goes:
The good: I got it to build and it runs, thumbnails now work, and also the loading of the borked dicom file (thanks to Matheu's patch for GDCM). The bad: This was all done on Gentoo, because the current versions of VTK and GDCM don't cut it: * VTK < 6.2.1 has a bug that makes ginkgocadx crash when creating the thumbnails. * GDCM-2.6.3 + patch can't currently be build in a clean unstable, because the build dependencies pull in conflicting versions of libopenmpi (1.6 and 1.10). The ugly: The ginkgocadx code is a mess, threading is poorly implemented with the result that at exit the program either crashes or hangs. Luckily gcc now implements a thread-checker that gives some hints what is going wrong, but resolving this threading issue will still be difficult. -- This means we'll have to wait until the gdcm can be build again, and I'll ask the VTK maintainer what he think about uploading either vtk -6.2.1, or vtk-6.3. vtk-7.0 is just around the corner, and both (vtk -6.3 and vtk-7.0) will need to pass through NEW ... Best, Gert
