[vtkusers] CMake Error: CMAKE_WORDS_BIGENDIAN

[Randy Heiland]

I just downloaded a CMake and VTK, both from CVS, built CMake, then tried to
run  'cmake' on VTK and got the following (on an SGI):

CMake Error: Error: An atttempt was made to access a variable:
CMAKE_WORDS_BIGENDIAN that has not been defined. Some variables were always
defined by CMake in versions prior to 1.6. To fix this you might need to set
the cache value of CMAKE_BACKWARDS_COMPATIBILITY to 1.4 or less. If you are
writing a CMakeList file, (or have already set CMAKE_BACKWARDS_COMPATABILITY to
1.4 or less) then you probably need to include a CMake module to test for the
feature this variable defines.


Trying to set CMAKE_BACKWARDS_COMPATIBILITY to 1.4 didn't seem to help.

Anyone seen this?

thanks,
