[Insight-developers] [Insight-users] CMake config problem: ITK + GDCM 2 + VTK

[Stephen Aylward]

The problem is that VTK_VERSION is being set somewhere that it shouldn't

Bill H thinks VTK_VERSION might be set in GDCM.   Check the Cache/Use
file on your local install.

I checked the following in ITK:

$ grep -R VTK_VERSION *
Utilities/MetaIO/CMakeLists.txt:IF(VTK_VERSION)
Utilities/MetaIO/CMakeLists.txt:ELSE(VTK_VERSION)
Utilities/MetaIO/CMakeLists.txt:ENDIF(VTK_VERSION)
Wrapping/WrapITK/ExternalProjects/ItkVtkGlue/Wrapping/CMakeLists.txt:
SET(VTK_VERSION
"${VTK_MAJOR_VERSION}.${VTK_MINOR_VERSION}.${VTK_BUILD_VERSION}")
Wrapping/WrapITK/ExternalProjects/ItkVtkGlue/Wrapping/CMakeLists.txt:
IF("${VTK_VERSION}" STRLESS "${MIN_ITK_VER}")
Wrapping/WrapITK/ExternalProjects/ItkVtkGlue/Wrapping/CMakeLists.txt:
ELSE("${VTK_VERSION}" STRLESS "${MIN_ITK_VER}")
Wrapping/WrapITK/ExternalProjects/ItkVtkGlue/Wrapping/CMakeLists.txt:
ENDIF("${VTK_VERSION}" STRLESS "${MIN_ITK_VER}")

So, if WrapITK is being used, then a temp var called VTK_VERSION is
being created...which is kind of a "reserved" CMake variable and could
cause the error.  Is wrapping enabled?
