Some comments:
- With cmake projects, I like to do:
make VERBOSE=1 %{?_smp_mflags}
to see the compile command lines. Helps with debugging builds. Produces copious output though.
- Are there really cmakes < 2.0.4 out there in the wild?
- You can use DESTDIR with the cmakes in Fedora.
- Usually you do out of tree builds with cmake.
- Why not build Java, Qt Designer, GL2PS, and with OSMesa support? OSMesa isn't avail in FC5 but is in FC6, though it may be buggy.
- I find all the automatic generating of file lists confusing and prone to problems, but it's a matter of taste.
- I'd like to get the test suite run with ctest, but it currently tries to run tests that need a display. You can turn that off with VTK_USE_DISPLAY=OFF, but then the tests/examples are not built and so cannot be installed in the examples subpackage.
