[Paraview] compiling Plugins

[Armin Ghajar Jazi]

Hello Everyone,

I am trying to get a plug-in that was written by one of my colleagues
compile but with no luck unfortunately.

Here is the output of make after configuring with cmake.

1.7 s in the future

And following is the header : ( it's rather simple actually)

/*
** vtkAiaGridReader.h
*/

#ifndef __vtkAiaGridReader_h
#define __vtkAiaGridReader_h

#include "vtkDataObjectAlgorithm.h"
#include "vtkSmartPointer.h"
#include "vtkIntArray.h"
#include "vtkDoubleArray.h"
#include "vtkDataArraySelection.h"
#include "vtkStdString.h"
#include "vtkUnstructuredGridAlgorithm.h"

class VTK_IO_EXPORT vtkAiaGridReader : public vtkUnstructuredGridAlgorithm {

 public:
  vtkTypeRevisionMacro(vtkAiaGridReader, vtkUnstructuredGridAlgorithm);
  static vtkAiaGridReader *New();
  virtual void PrintSelf(ostream &os, vtkIndent indent);

  // FileName and dataFile
  void SetFileName(const char *dataFile);
  vtkGetStringMacro(dataFile);

  // UpdateMetaData -- Automatically called by RequestInformation.
  int UpdateMetaData();

  // Returns true if the file can be read.
  static int CanReadFile(const char *filename);

  int SetbConProOut(bool bConProOut);
 protected:
  vtkAiaGridReader();
  ~vtkAiaGridReader();

  char * dataFile;

  virtual int RequestDataObject(vtkInformation *request,
vtkInformationVector **inputVector, vtkInformationVector
*outputVector);

//  virtual int RequestInformation(vtkInformation *request,
vtkInformationVector **inputVector, vtkInformationVector
*outputVector);

  virtual int RequestData(vtkInformation *request,
vtkInformationVector **inputVector, vtkInformationVector
*outputVector);

 private:
  //BTX
  bool isConProOut;
  //ETX
  vtkAiaGridReader(const vtkAiaGridReader &); // Not implemented
  void operator=(const vtkAiaGridReader &); // Not implemented
};

#endif //__vtkAiaGridReader_h

I am guessing the parser is not understanding VTK_IO_EXPORT part of
the declaration?!!

Any help would be apreciated.

cheers,
