[vtkusers] [FORGED] Re: Why there is no FindVTK.cmake in CMAKE_MODULE_PATH

[Gib Bogle]

Hi Andrew,

I use VTK and cmake on Windows.  I have VTK installed thus:
C:\VTK-VS10
C:\VTK-VS10\bin
C:\VTK-VS10\include
C:\VTK-VS10\lib
and I have set VTK_DIR as an environment variable:
C:\VTK-VS10
i.e. as the directory under which the bin, include and lib subdirectories are to be found.
Setting VTK_DIR in CMakeLists.txt in my case would be
SET(VTK_DIR C:/VTK-VS10)
For my money, cmake is the best way to set up the VS project files.

Cheers, Gib

This is what I said. In your vtk build, these files are not there on Windows. On Linux they are available.
On Windows, you do not need cmake for build the examples. I do not use cmake in my VS applications either.

Dear David,

I set VTK_DIR as you said. But it still cannot work. Please the screenshot below:

CMake needs VTK_DIR to be set (either as an environment variable, or in the CMakeCache.txt file).  This will allow CMake to find VTKConfig.cmake.  There is no FindVTK.cmake file.

VTK_DIR=C:/MyVTKProject/VTK-7.0.0/VTK-bin

Packages that have a XYZConfig.cmake file do not have a FindXYZ.cmake file.  The CMake error message doesn't explain this very well, unfortunately.

Hi there,

I used CMake 3.5.0 and VS 2013 to build VTK 7.0.0. Why there is no FindVTK.cmake in C:\MyVTKProjects\VTK-7.0.0\VTK-bin\lib\cmake\vtk-7.0\Modules. All of examples of VTK cannot work because no FindVTK.cmake.

CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:6 (find_package):
  By not providing "FindVTK.cmake" in CMAKE_MODULE_PATH this project has
  asked CMake to find a package configuration file provided by "VTK", but
  CMake did not find one.
  Could not find a package configuration file provided by "VTK" with any of
  the following names:
    VTKConfig.cmake
    vtk-config.cmake
  Add the installation prefix of "VTK" to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH or set "VTK_DIR"
  to a directory containing one of the above files.  If "VTK" provides a
  separate development package or SDK, be sure it has been installed.
How can I deal with this problem? Really appreciated.
