Multi-configuration from installed VTK

Support

  • I really recommend using a single build tree for generating this (either with Visual Studio and --config or by switching CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE and rerunning the install)
  • The CMAKE_$<CONFIG>_POSTFIX cache variable can be used to add custom suffixes based on the release. Alternatively, VTK_CUSTOM_LIBRARY_SUFFIX could be used if that fails.

8.2 is probably robust with these settings. If something more is necessary, we can look at supporting it properly in 8.90+ since I suspect it behaves similarly in this situation. If it isn’t enough, I recommend narrowing down the libraries you bring in by using find_package(VTK COMPONENTS) rather than importing every library built. Reducing how much of VTK is built is also a solution here (something probably worthwhile anyways).

I’m stepping out for a few days, but feel free to ping me and I’ll take a look when I’m back.
