ERROR：'S_IFLINK'未声明（首次在此函数中使用）

百度搜索了一番，按照“ubuntu16.04 源码编译安装vtk5.8.0ERROR” 的说明，无法解决问题。不过参照其中的指导思想，参照vtk-5.10.1版本中的 Utilities\vtkhdf5\ConfigureChecks.cmake内容，将vtk-5.8.0中的 Utilities\vtkhdf5\ConfigureChecks.cmake对应内容：

SET (LINUX_LFS 0)
IF (CMAKE_SYSTEM MATCHES "Linux-([3-9]\.[0-9]|2\.[4-9])\.")

Linux Specific flags

ADD_DEFINITIONS (-D_POSIX_SOURCE -D_BSD_SOURCE)
OPTION (HDF5_ENABLE_LARGE_FILE "Enable support for large (64-bit) files on Linux." ON)
IF (HDF5_ENABLE_LARGE_FILE)
SET (LARGEFILE 1)
ENDIF (HDF5_ENABLE_LARGE_FILE)
ENDIF (CMAKE_SYSTEM MATCHES "Linux-([3-9]\.[0-9]|2\.[4-9])\.")
SET (HDF5_EXTRA_FLAGS)
IF (LINUX_LFS)
SET (HDF5_EXTRA_FLAGS -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE)
SET (CMAKE_REQUIRED_DEFINITIONS ${HDF5_EXTRA_FLAGS})
ENDIF (LINUX_LFS)
ADD_DEFINITIONS (${HDF5_EXTRA_FLAGS})

修改为：

SET (LINUX_LFS 0)
IF (CMAKE_SYSTEM MATCHES "Linux")

Linux Specific flags

ADD_DEFINITIONS (-D_POSIX_SOURCE -D_BSD_SOURCE)
OPTION (HDF5_ENABLE_LARGE_FILE "Enable support for large (64-bit) files on Linux." ON)
IF (HDF5_ENABLE_LARGE_FILE)
SET (LARGEFILE 1)
ENDIF (HDF5_ENABLE_LARGE_FILE)
ENDIF (CMAKE_SYSTEM MATCHES "Linux")
SET (HDF5_EXTRA_FLAGS)
IF (LINUX_LFS)
SET (HDF5_EXTRA_FLAGS -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE)
SET (CMAKE_REQUIRED_DEFINITIONS ${HDF5_EXTRA_FLAGS})
ENDIF (LINUX_LFS)
ADD_DEFINITIONS (${HDF5_EXTRA_FLAGS})

然后，重新编译，执行：make

[ 68%] Building CXX object Rendering/CMakeFiles/vtkRendering.dir/vtkXOpenGLRenderWindow.cxx.o

网上搜到的Ubuntu 16.04中解决方法：取消如下内容所在行的注释：

// #define GLX_GLXENT_LEGACY

但是在CenOS 7中没有效果，照样报错。

CentOS 7中的解决办法：

切换到root用户下， gedit /usr/local/include/GL/glxext.h

在打开的文件第479行，添加如下2句：

typedef ptrdiff_t GLsizeiptr;

typedef ptrdiff_t GLintptr;

保存，关闭。

再次编译：make

100% 编译成功。
