Re: [wxVTK] Timer start failed

[Mathieu M. <mat...@gm...>]

Ruopeng,

  By turning rendering mode on, I mean that you would usually run your
vtk test like this:

ctest -R MyTest -V

  But instead try this:

ctest -R MyTest -V -N

copy the command line and execute. Usually something like that:

./bin/RenderingCxxTest MyTest -I

  The windows will stay open for you to play with.

  I think the bug crept in around VTK 5. If you are lucky, then maybe
it's not in VTK 5.0. You'll have to try ayway I only have a vague
notion when it appeared.
