Summary

0001372: Failure to install under Win32 VC7.1

Description

When using VC7.1 on the cvs version of VTK the INSTALL fails with:

-- Installing /usr/local/lib/vtk/CMake/vtkMakeInstantiator.cxx.in
-- Installing /usr/local/lib/vtk/CMake/cmVTK_WRAP_TCL2.dll
CMake Error: Error in cmake code at
c:/vtk/VTKBin/cmake_install.cmake:72:
FILE cannot find file: C:/vtk/VTKBin/CMake/cmVTK_WRAP_TCL2.dll to install.

There seem to be three problems here:
  1) This file does not exist for the release version of MFC. So it is not being built.
  2) The file does exist for the debug version but it is in C:/vtk/VTKBin/CMake/Debug
  3) I tried to install the debug version but it also failed with the same message - so it does not realise the file is in the Debug subdirectory.

I am using the CVS version of VTK. Note that, except for the install, VTK compiles and links OK for both the debug and release versions.

As a check, ParaView and CMake install OK.

Notes
(0001747) Brad King (developer) 2004-11-22 10:16	I'm changing this to a feature request because installation from the build tree has never been implemented on Windows. Install commands are in the CMakeLists.txt file because installation on UNIX has always been supported. CMake 2.0 adds the INSTALL target by default, and as a side effect makes it look like VTK can be installed. The feature has never been tested though it is on our to-do list before the next VTK release.

(0001748) Brad King (developer) 2004-11-22 10:17	I forgot to mention that VTK is completely usable out of the build tree on Windows and UNIX platforms. If you build your application with CMake and the FIND_PACKAGE(VTK) command then just point VTK_DIR at the VTK build tree and it will work.

(0002344) Andrew Maclean (reporter) 2005-04-15 06:24	This has been fixed - so it can be removed.

(0002349) Brad King (developer) 2005-04-15 13:53	You are correct. The install target is now properly implemented for both Windows and UNIX. I'm closing this bug.
