[vtk-developers] VTK Python & BUILD_SHARED_LIBS=OFF

[Burlen Loring]

Hi Folks,

I'm using VTK in an embedded Python interpreter. In my case VTK is an 
external project dependency, and to configure my library I point to an 
externally  installed VTK.  Works great when I compile VTK with 
BUILD_SHARED_LIBS=ON, but with this set OFF I can't "import vtk". Some 
of the Python modules are not found. Since vtkpython works, I know there 
is a way. If I understand correctly I need to have the following before 
I initialize the interpreter.

    #include "vtkpythonmodules.h"

    CMakeLoadAllPythonModules();

I'm stuck on the CMake code to locate the header and link dependencies. 
how do I locate the include directory of vtkpythonmodules.h? the file is 
not installed, which seems to be a problem. Then also how can I access 
the list of link libraries needed? These seem to be stored in an 
internal variable, but are they exported to the install?
