[vtkusers] RE: vtkMy TCL packages in static build

[Dean Inglis]

Goodwin,

getting closer...

I'm using the USE_VTK_OUTPUT_PATHS:BOOL=ON in my project so the libs go
to VTK_BINARY_DIR.

fixed that and now there is ..

confirmed, LocalUserOptions.cmake is placed in the VTK source tree.

vtkTkAppInitConfigure.h is as follows:

Why are the optional? Why do you have an instantiator for your project?

Yep, I get the cyclic thing: add LocalUserOptions.cmake after building
local libs etc.,and the compile seems to work,
 but I get errors in my startup scripts now saying:

can't find package vtklocalgraphics
 while executing
"package.orig require vtklocalgraphics
 ("eval" body line 1)
invoked from within
"eval package.orig $args"
(procedure "package" line...


almost there ...
