Hello,

I would like to set up a "superbuild" for my project.
I would like it to be as clean/basic as possible.

Let's say I want to build VTK as my "ExternalProject". How should I proceed to link it to my current project.

My current project requires VTK to be built.
So FIND_PACKAGE cannot work. (vtk source code not there during the configuration step) And I didn't get any success manually setting VTK_DIR, VTK_INCLUDE_DIRS, etc. at the end of my External-VTK.cmake file. Is it the way to go?

How should I proceed to do it?
Is there any tutorial on the net? (I couldn't find any)
I had a look at CTK's and Slicer's superbuilds but we would like something more basic and straight forward. Is it possible? Is there a special option in CMake/ExternalProjects to be enabled or anything we can do about it?

A workaround was to build "myProject" as an ExternalProject linked to the "VTK ExternalProject", and to turn off USE_SUPERBUILD but I don't really like this solution.

Any help would be greatly appreciated,

Thanks
