[vtkusers] Is it possible to retrieve VTK version from any library?

[Guillaume Jacquenot]

Dear all,

Is it possible to retrieve VTK version from any C++ static or dynamic
libraries?
Let me explain a little more.

I know VTK version number is defined in vtkConfigure.h, and that it is also
available in library vtkCommon with functions

  static const char *GetVTKVersion() { return VTK_VERSION; }
  static int GetVTKMajorVersion() { return VTK_MAJOR_VERSION; }
  static int GetVTKMinorVersion() { return VTK_MINOR_VERSION; }
  static int GetVTKBuildVersion() { return VTK_BUILD_VERSION; }

Library vtkCommon  is quite large (about 40Mo), and my project does not
require vtkCommon (only vtkIO vtkHybrid).

So I would like to know if it is possible to retrieve these informations
from any static or dynamic library (for example vtkIO vtkHybrid)


Best regards
