Summary

0006272: Incorrect installation of Python wrappers with MinGW build

Description

When building VTK (CVS of 24/1/08) with MinGW on Windows XP compilation succeeds. A "make install" also seems to work o.k., except that part of the Python wrappers is not installed.

I set CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX to "C:\Program Files\VTK" and after "make install" running Python and importing the "vtk" module fails because the "vtkCommonPython" module can't be found. Running the "vtkpython" executable fails with a similar error.

After closer inspection of the make install output I noticed the line:
...
byte-compiling C:\Program Files\VTK\Lib\site-packages\vtk\wx\wxVTKRenderWindow.p
y to wxVTKRenderWindow.pyc
error: can't copy 'C:\Paul\vtkbuild\bin\vtkCommonPython.pyd': doesn't exist or n
ot a regular file
...

Checking the build directory I indeed don't see vtkCommonPython.pyd, but DO see libvtkCommonPython.pyd and friends. When I copy these to C:\Program Files\VTK and strip off the "lib" prefix the Python wrappers seems to work fine.

Additional Information

Relevant CMake settings used:

CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX = "C:\Program Files\VTK"
CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE = "Release"
BUILD_SHARED_LIBS = ON
VTK_WRAP_PYTHON = ON
Source dir: C:\Paul\VTK
Binaries dir: C:\Paul\vtkbuild

PS I set the build type to Release, but in the (freshly created) installation bin/ directory I do see libvtkCommonPythonD.dll and friends, suggesting these are part of a Debug build. Is this correct?
