Hi Utkarsh,
I have tried adding the path to my external module via
PARAVIEW_EXTERNAL_MODULE_ROOTS in cmake. I am able to compile the module in
VS2015 but it only creates a .dll file. Usually, at least from what I've seen
with the other modules, a library is also created which is needed to use the
plugins in the modules. I have checked all the documentation and did a really
simple module containing only a single plugin.
Here is an overview of what it looks like:
module.cmake:
vtk_module(vtkSPXModule
GROUPS
StandAlone
DEPENDS
vtkCommonCore
vtkCommonDataModel
vtkCommonExecutionModel
vtkCommonMisc
vtkPVVTKExtensionsRendering
vtkFiltersGeneral
TEST_DEPENDS
vtkTestingCore
KIT
vtkRemote
)
and the Cmakelist.txt:
set(Module_SRCS
TestPlugin.cxx
)
vtk_module_library(vtkSPXModule ${Module_SRCS})
I referred myself to this example that seemed to work
https://github.com/lorensen/vtkAddon/blob/master/module.cmake
Overall, to make sure it's clear, I am able to compile the module and I'm able
to see it in my solution. The problem is more so linked to the creation of the
.lib that isn't being done. Any idea what could cause that?
Thank you,
Simon-Pierre

Simon,
While plugins can have internal modules, it's really not designed to share
those with other plugins. You have two options:
1. combine both plugins into a single one.
2. make the module a standard ParaView/VTK module that added via
PARAVIEW_EXTERNAL_MODULE_ROOTS CMake variable, then the two plugins can use the
module just liek any other ParaView/VTK module.

Hi,
I created a custom plugin that I want to use in a second plugin. To do so, I
want to create a module with the custom plugin to be able to use it in my
second one.
I tried creating the module following the instructions on
http://www.vtk.org/Wiki/VTK/Module_Development but it did not work.
Basically, I am able to compile my module and create a .dll with it but I can't
seem to be able to create the .lib and .ext necessary.
I also added my module in the VTKModule.cmake. I'm unsure why it is not
generating a .lib since I can see the line add_library in the cmake file
generated for vtkmodules with my module name.
Could anyone try to help me figure out what I'm missing?
Thank you,
Simon-Pierre Desjardins
I'm compiling using Visual studio 2015 and Windows 10 64bits
