[vtkusers] VTK 5.0 installation on Windows leads to cmVTK_WRAP_TCL2 LOAD_COMMAND failure for VTK projects

[Charl P. Botha]

Dear list,

I've configured, built and installed VTK 5.0 on Windows XP with VS.NET
2003 with TCL and Python wrappings.  It's an out of source build which
I then install in a third directory, in my case c:\opt\VTK.  The build
target is RelWithDebInfo.

Attempting to configure a client project, such as
VTK/Examples/Build/vtkMy with CMake 2.2.3, results in a slew of
errors, starting with this:

CMake Error: Error in cmake code at
c:/opt/VTK/lib/vtk-5.0/CMake/vtkLoadCMakeExtensions.cmake:7:
LOAD_COMMAND Attempt to load command failed from file:
cmVTK_WRAP_TCL2.dll

and so forth.

After a bit more digging around, it turns out the INSTALL target did
not copy four crucial DLLs from VTK-build-dir\CMake\debug to
VTK-install-dir\lib\vtk-5.0\CMake:
cmVTK_WRAP_TCL2.dll, cmVTK_WRAP_PYTHON2.dll, cmVTK_WRAP_JAVA2.dll and
cmVTK_GENERATE_JAVA_DEPENDENCIES.dll.  Copying these files by hand
solved all problems above, and the vtkMy project could be successfully
configured.

Could somebody with a better understanding of the VTK CMake INSTALL
setup take a look at this and fix the installation?

Thanks,
Charl
