Summary0011750: CMake generates wrong VTKConfigure.H while using Python Debuggable
DescriptionFor a debug build, the pre-processor constant VTK_WINDOWS_PYTHON_DEBUGGABLE is not being defined in the VTKConfigure.h file generated by CMake, even though a correct Python Debuggable library is supplied.

This is because of bug in the CMakeLists: The CONFIGURE_FILE() is placed *before* the Python detection code INCLUDE(vtkWrapPython)

I have moved the CONFIGURE_FILE() code to after the INCLUDE(vtkWrapPython) and now it generates correctly. Attaching the modified CMakeLists file.
Steps To ReproduceConfigure a correct version of Python debuggable library in the CMake and generate the solution for VS2010.

VTKConfigure.h gets generated with VTK_WINDOWS_PYTHON_DEBUGGABLE undefined. This leads to _DEBUG being undefined in vtkPython.h because of a hack at line 35 there.

You will get linker errors because the pYConfig.h specifies a default python27.lib, which conflicts with our supplied python27_d.lib.

# ifdef _DEBUG
# pragma comment(lib,"python27_d.lib")
# else
# pragma comment(lib,"python27.lib")
# endif /* _DEBUG */
Additional Information
The order in CMakeLists is wrong. The correct order should be as below (attached the correctly modified complete file):


#-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# search Python, Tcl and Java

IF(VTK_WRAP_PYTHON)
  # Tell vtkWrapPython.cmake to set VTK_PYTHON_LIBRARIES for us.
  SET(VTK_WRAP_PYTHON_FIND_LIBS 1)
  INCLUDE(vtkWrapPython)
ENDIF(VTK_WRAP_PYTHON)


#-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Configure files with settings for use by the build.
CONFIGURE_FILE(${VTK_SOURCE_DIR}/vtkConfigure.h.in
               ${VTK_BINARY_DIR}/vtkConfigure.h @ONLY IMMEDIATE)
