That is tougher.

I am pretty sure that CMake's ExternalProject's (aka superbuilds) don't support that. I imaging you might have a custom external project stage fire off a process that builds VTK independently with a different CMake.

You might want to ask on the CMake list to see how feasible that is as I am certainly no expert with this.

That would be great but we are building the tool (that links to VTK) from a top-level cmake for the whole project. How would we do that?

Ilene could probably build VTK and here project separately right? Once you have VTK built, you don't necessarily need CMake to build your own project that links into and uses VTK.

Not quite that far back, VTK 5.10.1 should work.

Modifying VTK 7 to make it work with CMake 2.8.4 would be a lot
of work, even for a cmake guru.

Ilene,

It looks like you need to go back to VTK 5.8 to build with 2.8.4.

> git show v5.8.0:CMakeLists.txt

CMAKE_MINIMUM_REQUIRED(VERSION 2.6.3 FATAL_ERROR)

> git show v6.0.0:CMakeLists.txt

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.8.5 FATAL_ERROR)

HTH,
Cory
