[vtkusers] building an VTK install for another machine

[straw dog]

Hi,

I'm trying to set up a custom build of VTK to be useable for a group  of 
people.  I'm working on both a Windows
and UNIX build, and have found this problem wth each one.  For some reason, 
VTK insists on putting full path names in a large number of the resulting 
files.  This forces me to build VTK in the final location in which it wll 
reside - on Windows, this is particularly frustrating, as it means that I 
have to make sure that all users mount the shared VTK install in the same 
path (Visual C++ does not like UNCpaths).  Worse, the findVTK.cmake script 
seems to point includes back to the original source directory, not the 
installed include directory.  Needless to say, this makes for a very messy 
install.

Has anyone had any luck building a set of VTK binaries and associated files 
that can then be moved around independently of the original source?  How was 
the install that came on the CDRom built?

thanks
Rupert B.
