[vtkusers] How to specify the path to VTK in CMake?

[Michael Xanadu]

Hi Dave,

thank you for your help. I did what you told me without success.
I replaced

   FIND_PACKAGE(VTK)

with

   FIND_PACKAGE(VTK REQUIRED)

No success. Then I replaced the whole code block. No success. Then I used a
codeblock found in the internet:

   FIND_PACKAGE(VTK REQUIRED)
   INCLUDE(${VTK_USE_FILE})

Always the same story. I can't set the path to VTK bin in CMake GUI & CMake
always links the (wrong) 32lib.
There are VTKConfig.cmake + useVTK.cmake in the build directory
"c:\work\libs\vtk_bin_5.6.0_x64" but not in the build directory of my own
apllication. Do you have any further suggestions for me?

With best regards,
Michael
