[vtk-developers] New wiki pages on VTK 6 build system migration and module development

[Robert Maynard]

I have been working with Marcus to be able to use an external module with a
pre built version of VTK. Here is an example CMakeLists.txt that does just
this:

project(Example)

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.8)

find_package(VTK REQUIRED COMPONENTS vtkFiltersGeometry NO_MODULE)
set (CMAKE_MODULE_PATH ${CMAKE_MODULE_PATH} ${VTK_CMAKE_DIR})

include(vtkExternalModuleMacros)
include(module.cmake)

set(Module_SRCS
  vtkExample.cxx
  )

vtk_module_library(vtkExample)
