Hmm, now I have no idea.  
I see a message that VTK\_USE\_FILE is no longer used since 8.90,  
but,  
the current vtk.git/Examples/Tutorial/Step1/Cxx/CMakeLists.txt  
still has VTK\_USE\_FILE …

I found the new method here:  
[3645 topic](https://discourse.vtk.org/t/vtk-use-file/3645)  
Would be great if it were documented and examples updated etc, or at least drop a readme in there that is blindingly obvious to find. There might already be something in there, but I might be more blind than most…
