I believe there is an issue with the 9.4 release and multiconfiguration installs. Previous, I have been able to do
cmake -H%~dp0/VTK -B%~dp0//build -G "Visual Studio 17 2022" -A "x64" -DCMAKE_CXX_MP_FLAG=ON -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=ON
cmake --build build --config Release --target install -j 8
cmake --build build --config Debug --target install -j 8
and I will debug and release side-by-side where debug was post-fixed with “d”.
Now, no matter if my dependent projects are debug or release, they always end up using the last lib and dlls that were installed, when linking like this
target_link_libraries(myTarget PRIVATE ${VTK_LIBRARIES})
It has been a while since I used VTK with multi-configuration on Windows, but shouldn’t this work.
Another issue (could be) is that for shared build on latest VS2022, I needed to add
-DVTK_MODULE_ENABLE_VTK_FiltersFlowPaths:STRING=NO
