Hi, sorry for another email!

I tried to use function QwtSpline from library Qwt, that uses Qt, in the new Spline Tool. After adding the path to the header files of Qt4 to the corresponding CMakeLists.txt, I get a weird compilation error

<ERROR>

I did some searching, and somebody had a similar error using another library [1]

Quite worryingly, somebody commented on that problem that [2]

"You are trying to build two differents Drivers at the same time : Qt and X11. Both can't be launch together. Moreover, there is a conflict between some Qt "#define" macros and X11 one's."

Does this mean that it is not possible to use functions that depend on Qt in the current architecture of Seg3D? Is there some workaround? Or am I making a silly mistake somewhere?

The horror! Computing the spline is probably going to be a lot more complicated than I thought.


The patch to reproduce the error can be downloaded from:

http://www.paracommunications.org/wiki/codefiles/22091016-231700-error.diff

Note that the only use of a qwt function is in Spline.cc

<SNIPPET>
#include <Externals/qwt-5.2/src/qwt_spline.h>
...
QwtSpline foo;
</SNIPPET>
