[vtkusers] vcpkg

[Róbert Špir]

I made a simple portfile [1] for VTK to vcpkg and it seems that it works. At least I was able to build and run the sphere VTK example.

Only problem that I see is that VTK has large number of build configuration options and I don’t know how this could be handled with vcpkg (for example optional QT support).

If there is no undergoing effort to "port" VTK to vcpkg, we could go ahead and add ITK with VTKGlue disabled. Once VTK is added, we could turn on VTKGlue and make VTK a dependency.

 

P.S. I originally cross-posted this to ITK and VTK developers lists, but since I am only subscribed to VTK-users my message was bounced from VTK-developers. Hence this "merge" message including Francois' response.

to me, vtk-developers, ITK

Never heard of it before. It does look interesting. We could try to estimate how much work it would be to port ITK (and VTK?)  to that platform. Since it supports CMake [1], it may not be much work.

CPack would likely need to support it first. Moving VTK over to the new
superbuild would also help there.
