[vtk-developers] CMAKE_WORDS_BIGENDIAN not defined

[David Doria]

When I configure with only VTK_Group_Rendering, I get:

CMake Error: An attempt was made to access a variable:
CMAKE_WORDS_BIGENDIAN that has not been defined. Some variables were
always defined by CMake in versions prior to 1.6. To fix this you
might need to set the cache value of CMAKE_BACKWARDS_COMPATIBILITY to
1.4 or less. If you are writing a CMakeList file, (or have already set
CMAKE_BACKWARDS_COMPATABILITY to 1.4 or less) then you probably need
to include a CMake module to test for the feature this variable
defines.

This is on Windows 7 with CMake 2.8.7.

Is this a known issue?
