[vtkusers] vtk4 & cmake & external libraries

[Berk Geveci]

Here is an example:

MIL (Matrox Imaging Library):
In the main CMakeLists.txt (VTK/CMakeLists.txt):

IF (VTK_USE_HYBRID)
  IF (WIN32)
    OPTION(VTK_USE_MATROX_IMAGING "Use Matrox Imaging Library for video
input" OFF)
    IF (VTK_USE_MATROX_IMAGING)
      FIND_LIBRARY(MIL_LIBRARY MIL
        "C:/Program Files/Matrox Imaging/mil/library/winnt/msc/dll"
        "C:/Program Files/Matrox Imaging/mil/library/windows/msc/dll"
        )
      FIND_PATH(MIL_INCLUDE_PATH mil.h
        "C:/Program Files/Matrox Imaging/mil/include"
        )
    ENDIF (VTK_USE_MATROX_IMAGING)
  ENDIF (WIN32)

  SUBDIRS(Hybrid)
ENDIF (VTK_USE_HYBRID)

In Hybrid/CMakeLists.txt:
IF (WIN32)
  IF (VTK_USE_MATROX_IMAGING)
    LINK_LIBRARIES (${MIL_LIBRARY})
  ENDIF (VTK_USE_MATROX_IMAGING)
ENDIF (WIN32)

You will also have to add the LINK_LIBRARIES command to all
CMakeLists.txt files which create executables. This is specially
important when building with static libraries. You can find more
information about the CMake commands in the CMake documentation.
