[vtkusers] VTK 5.6.0 Cmake Errors

[Scott Johnson]

Hi Bill,

I started with a totally clean copy of the source tree from the vtk-5.6.0.zip file and started Cmake from scratch with the same result.  I also made sure that my Binary directory was specified outside of the source directories.

Looking at the CmakeLists.txt there is an ADD_SUBDIRECTORY(Wrapping) command before the ADD_SUBDIRECTORY(Utilities) command which fails.  If I look in my Binary directory the Wrapping directory is created, so ADD_SUBDIRECTORY works up to that point.  What variable does ADD_SUBDIRECTORY look at to determine where to create the directory?  It feels like it's getting changed between lines 1083 and 1251.

I was able to do this with the 5.4.2 release.

Thanks

		-- Scott

Did you ever run cmake or ccmake in the source directory. If you did,
it is prbably polluted with some build files and other stuff.

Try a completely fresh source tree and run cmake (or ccmake) outside
of the source tree.
