Probably I spoke too soon…
Finalizing “Configure” seems much more complicated with Ninja.
It is requesting me to install a lot of exernal tools (CURL, OpenSSL, and maybe others in successive steps…) and to set many variables manually. I think I will need to finish this tomorrow.
In all cases, VTK 8.2.0 was building correctly and very easily through Visual Studio 2017 with Java bindings. VTK 9.0.0 apparently is not.
I will go on with my build attempt and will update you ASAP.

Marco
