Re: Octaviz installation on Mac but first need VTK, and possibly also Cmake

[Henry F. Mollet]

Marius,
Thanks, but I don't think that I had a choice about where Fink is putting
things or I would have installed Cmake and VTK in /usr/local/bin  where
octave-2.1.71 is located (instead of in /sw/bin). Using Fink I was able to
install VTK quickly to find out what is was all about.

Where is the 'fooling around' to be done?
I.e. with
CPPFLAGS=-I/some/strange/place/include \ and
and
LDFLAGS=-L/some/strange/place/lib
(above copied from a google search for 'LDFLAGS' to find out what it is.)

I have checked the CMakeLists.txt file in the untared octaviz-0.4.0
directory but could not find LDFLAGS nor CPPFLAGS. I surmise it may be way
over my head to accomplish something that passes information to the
assembler and linker during the build process.
Henry
