[vtkusers] CMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS question

[Leila Baghdadi]

Theodore,

I just went through a couple of days of struggling to add a similar thing 
to my vtk build but not with CMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS.

you must add the following to your CMakeLists.txt (I have changed mine at 
../VTK/Examples/Build/vtkLocal as this is where I am adding my own 
classes)
 
# added this to link against hdf5 
  FIND_PATH (HDF5_INCLUDE_PATH hdf5.h 
	    /usr/include
	    /home/../include)

  INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES(${HDF5_INCLUDE_PATH})
  
  FIND_LIBRARY(HDF5_LIBRARY hdf5 
			    /usr/lib 
			    /home/../lib)


and also where you have the list of kits

# List the kits from VTK that are needed by this project.
SET(vtkLocal_LIBS
  vtkCommon
  vtkImaging
  vtkIO
  ${HDF5_LIBRARY}
)

and most important, if you have been playing with these flags and have a 
corrupted CMakeCache.txt you must manually remove it and rerun ccmake to 
create a new one as I was under the impression that make clean does that 
and got really weird looking errors.
