vtk 6.3 installs a GenerateExportHeader CMake module that shadows the official CMake module if find_package(VTK) is invoked.
To ensure that the build works even if find_package(VTK) is invoked and VTK 6 is found, we manually include exactly the
GenerateExportHeader that is shipped with CMake, extracting the CMake install prefix from the CMAKE_COMMAND variable
The issue has been solved in vtk >= 7.1, see https://gitlab.kitware.com/vtk/vtk/-/merge_requests/1593 , so this workaround can be removed once we will not support anymore platforms that ship with vtk 6.3 as main vtk version (Ubuntu 18.04).
Fix #714 that was happening on a project that included iDynTree via
add_subdirectory
and indirectly was callingfind_package(VTK)
with VTK 6, viafind_package(PCL)
.
