I wouldn't object to this. A coworker and I just recently locally adjusted that to be IF(VTK_WRAP_TCL OR VTK_WRAP_PYTHON) as we were experimenting with creating a package with vtkpython and the vtk's python module.<div>

Hi everyone,<br>
<br>
I am trying to add VTK to an application on various platforms, and I use Cpack to generate stand alone VTK packages that we will ship with our software.<br>
<br>
However, I have a problem with the package generation: if there is no TCL wrapping enabled, the CMake files don't define any CPACK variables (taken from VTKCPack.cmake):<br>
<br>
# For now, only build the CPack installer if vtk(.exe) will be available for<br>
# installation:<br>
#<br>
IF(VTK_WRAP_TCL)<br>
SET(CPACK_PACKAGE_DESCRIPTION_SUMMARY "VTK - The Visualization Toolkit")<br>
[...]<br>
<br>
<br>
Why is package generation limited to the presence of the VTK_WRAP_TCL flag? and I guess from the comment in the file, why only when there is the vtk executable file? Library packages are more than common, so what is the reasoning behind this? And as a corollary, what about removing this limitation?<br>
<br>
Best Regards,<br>
Ben<br>
