[vtk-developers] Checking if VTK was built with a particular group enabled

[David E DeMarle]

I was thinking along the lines of:

FIND_PACKAGE(VTK)
IF(VTK_FOUND)
  include(${ParaView_BINARY_DIR}/VTK/VTKConfig.cmake)
ENDIF()

Then checking $VTK_MODULES_ENABLED for vtkFiltersParallel.

I don't see a way to get the list of groups that are enabled.

Marcus or Chris or Brad, can you chime in?

Sorry, I don't follow. Two things:

1) If I do this:
find_package(VTK REQUIRED vtkFiltersParallel)
include(${VTK_USE_FILE})

even though Module_vtkFiltersParallel is OFF, CMake does not complain,
but then I get a linker error (correctly) "cannot find
-lvtkFiltersParallel". Shouldn't this be caught by the find_package?

2) There doesn't seem to be a similar VTK_GROUPS_ENABLED, or a way to
check for them with CMake. Is that correct?
