[vtkusers] Building VTK 5.0 on Windows

Hi all,
I just found out that an official 5.0 release has been made available
from the VTK site (and did I miss something, or has there indeed not
been an announcement of this on the mailinglist? Would have been nice
to have gotten one).
I was already using a CVS snapshot of VTK 5.0 from somewhere in
September last year, but it seems a few things have changed since
then. There are some problems with the new release that I do not know
how to solve:
On Windows when trying to build VTK from source I get various
occasions of the following error message when running CMake:
---
Unknown CMake command "VTK_GET_TCL_TK_VERSION"
---
(the full output of CMake is at the bottom of this e-mail)
The CMake command I am using is (this is run from C:\vtkbuild\vtkbin):
C:\builddir\CMake\bin\cmake.exe -G"Visual Studio 7 .NET 2003" -
DBUILD_TESTING:BOOL=OFF -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS:BOOL=ON -
DVTK_USE_HYBRID:BOOL=ON -DVTK_WRAP_PYTHON:BOOL=ON -
DTK_STUB_LIBRARY:PATH="C:\builddir\Tcl\lib\tkstub84.lib" -
DTK_LIBRARY:PATH="C:\builddir\Tcl\lib\tk84.lib" -
DTK_INCLUDE_PATH:PATH="C:\builddir\Tcl\include" -
DTCL_STUB_LIBRARY:PATH="C:\builddir\Tcl\lib\tclstub84.lib" -
DTCL_LIBRARY:PATH="C:\builddir\Tcl\lib\tcl84.lib" -
DTCL_INCLUDE_PATH:PATH="C:\builddir\Tcl\include" -DPYTHON_LIBRARY="C:
\builddir\Python24\libs\python24.lib" -DPYTHON_INCLUDE_PATH="C:
\builddir\Python24\include" -DPYTHON_EXECUTABLE="C:\builddir\Python24
\python.exe" -DPYTHON_DEBUG_LIBRARY="C:\builddir\Python24\libs
\python24.lib" "C:\vtkbuild\VTK"
This should generate a VTK.sln file that allows me to build the VTK
libraries and Python extensions (using 'devenv VTK.sln /build
"Release"'). However, the VTK.sln doesn't show up anymore as it did
with my September CVS snapshot of VTK 5.0. I also couldn't really
tell whether this was a result of the VTK_GET_TCL_TK_VERSION error or
not, since CMake ended with a normal '-- Configuring done'.
I first tried the CMake run with CMake 2.0 (patch 6), but later also
tried the same cmake command with CMake 2.2 (patch 3). This also
showed the VTK_GET_TCL_TK_VERSION error (but now only once) and still
didn't give me a VTK.sln file.
Is there anyone who knows how to fix this?
Best regards,
Sander Niemeijer
