[CMake] Building a Debug Project against a Release VTK

[David Cole]

How are you including VTK in your project?

If like this:
FIND_PACKAGE(VTK)
INCLUDE(${VTK_USE_FILE})

then after the INCLUDE line, you should be able to do this:
SET(CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE "Debug")

and get things limping along...

Be advised, though. The warnings are there for a reason. You may see 
other oddities when running your debug project.

HTH,
David

I _understand_ the error. What I need to know is if there is a way to actually build my code with Debug ON but leave VTK in release mode? I do this on other platforms (OS X) so this just seems like I am missing something simple.
