[Insight-developers] problem building ITK using CMake 2.8 ExternalProject_add

Wed Apr 14 10:35:24 EDT 2010

Hans discovered the fix for this.

I was, in fact, trying to figure out how to build ITK using the
ExternalProject Module in CMake.

The problem 
The fix is to use this when you configure:

  -DLIBRARY_OUTPUT_PATH:PATH=${CMAKE_LIBRARY_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY}
  -DEXECUTABLE_OUTPUT_PATH:PATH=${CMAKE_RUNTIME_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY}

The problem ‹ which we¹ve run into before is that ITK still, in places, uses
the Œold¹ variables LIBRARY_OUTPUT_PATH/EXECUTABLE_OUTPUT_PATH instead of
the Œnew¹ property system to locate things.

If it happens (as in our case) that the CMAKE_...DIRECTORY variables are
set, such that they override the stock properties, then built programs no
longer go to EXECUTABLE_PATH...
