[vtkusers] Compile and build VTK with shared libraries enabled

[David E DeMarle]

cmake -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS:BOOL=ON

Should work too.

Besides the ccmake and cmake-gui options Shawn recommended, another option
for setting options in scripts and such is to put a CMakeCache.txt file
with the small set of options you want into the build tree before you run
cmake.
