[vtkusers] package generation without TCL

[Benoit Bleuze]

Hi everyone,

I am trying to add VTK to an application on various platforms, and I use 
Cpack to generate stand alone VTK packages that we will ship with our 
software.

However, I have a problem with the package generation: if there is no 
TCL wrapping enabled, the CMake files don't define any CPACK variables 
(taken from VTKCPack.cmake):

# For now, only build the CPack installer if vtk(.exe) will be available 
for
   # installation:
   #
   IF(VTK_WRAP_TCL)
     SET(CPACK_PACKAGE_DESCRIPTION_SUMMARY "VTK - The Visualization 
Toolkit")
     [...]


Why is package generation  limited to the presence of the VTK_WRAP_TCL 
flag? and I guess from the comment in the file, why only when there is 
the vtk executable file? Library packages are more than common, so what 
is the reasoning behind this? And as a corollary, what about removing 
this limitation?

Best Regards,
Ben
