Hi,
okay, here is some sort of current status:
In order to migrate to VTK 5, we will probably need a CVS snapshot of
Octaviz (which in itself doesn't pose a problem). If you try to build
this, you will run into a bug similiar to [1].
The reason for this can be found in
/usr/lib/vtk-5.0/vtkCommonKit.cmake
VTK_COMMON_CLASSES contains several paths starting with
"/debian" (starting at line 139). Clearly, these paths shouldn't be
there; in fact, the files mentioned there are not included in the VTK
build.
Now, the CMakeLists.txt responsible for these 'debian' lines is (in
VTK's source)
Common/CMakeLists.txt
at line 203 (look for the 'IF(VTK_TYPE_NATIVE)) line.
Kudos to Kitware for not providing a complete documentation with cmake.
I mean, what would I do with all my time if I didn't need an internet
connection to look up CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR in their wiki[2]?
