[CMake] CMAKE_MODULE_PATH (UNCLASSIFIED)

[David Cole]

John,
In today's CVS HEAD of VTK, on line 51/52 of CMakeLists.txt we use these two
lines:
  SET(VTK_CMAKE_DIR "${VTK_SOURCE_DIR}/CMake")
  SET(CMAKE_MODULE_PATH "${VTK_CMAKE_DIR}" ${CMAKE_MODULE_PATH})

to set a custom CMake module path for VTK builds. I do not know of anybody
having problems with VTK related to CMake modules...

When you say:
  "I am able to find my "local" cmake modules but cannot find the "system"
cmake modules, in the cmake module directory."

What do you mean?

Are you getting an error message when doing a FIND_PACKAGE or an INCLUDE?

Either technique (appending via a SET command or using a LIST(APPEND
command) should work OK.

Let me know what your specific error message is and maybe I can help you
narrow down what the problem is. Or... maybe you could post a minimal
example CMakeLists.txt that is standalone that demonstrates the problem?


Thanks,
David
