[Insight-developers] Building ITK with Module_ITKVtkGlue forces client applications to find_package(VTK)?

[Xiaoxiao Liu]

David,

Until we have a better  CMake solution for this,
I think a temporary solution for building your project A is to use:
*Find (ITK REQUIRED  <Module1> <Module2 > ....)*
instead of
*Find (ITK REQRUIED)*
*
*
Only list the modules that  project A needs ( the module list should not
contain ITKVTKGlue).
