VTK + Mac OSX (Yosemite) + GCC 4.9.2 from macports
This issue was created automatically from an original Mantis Issue. Further discussion may take place here.
In trying to address a problem caused by GCC 4,9 on Mac: https://issues.itk.org/jira/browse/ITK-3331#comment-26688 I encountered a different problem. While the fix suggested there worked for building ITK, it resulted in VTK not being built. The primary failures were in: a.) vtkHdf5 and b.) unable to located <ascidecl.h> header file
For the latter, I had to manually give the location of /opt/local/include (the Macport default), while for the latter, I had to disable it and use an inbuilt hdf5 library.
