VTK 7 jumbo package

PPA description

Holds a single Ubuntu 16.04 package vtk7, containing VTK 7.0.0 built with

    -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/opt/VTK-7.0.0
    -DVTK_Group_Qt=ON
    -DVTK_QT_VERSION=5
    -DVTK_Group_Imaging=ON
    -DVTK_Group_Views=ON
    -DVTK_WRAP_PYTHON=ON
    -DVTK_PYTHON_VERSION=3
    -DPYTHON_EXECUTABLE=/usr/bin/python3
    -DPYTHON_INCLUDE_DIR=/usr/include/python3.5
    -DPYTHON_LIBRARY=/usr/lib/$(DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH)/libpython3.5m.so
    -DBUILD_TESTING=OFF
    -DVTK_USE_SYSTEM_LIBRARIES=ON
    -DVTK_USE_SYSTEM_LIBPROJ4=OFF
    -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release

The package installs to /opt/VTK-7.0.0, which is against Debian packaging conventions, but which allows you to still have the VTK 5/6 packages from [universe] installed.

To use this version of VTK, make sure /opt/VTK-7.0.0/lib is in LD_LIBRARY_PATH, or in e.g. /etc/ld.so.conf.d/vtk7.conf followed by `ldconfig` to make it permanent.

To build a CMake-packaged C++ application against this version of VTK,
pass -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=/opt/VTK-7.0.0 to `cmake` when building the application.

To use a Python 3 application with this version of VTK, make sure /opt/VTK-7.0.0/lib/python3.5/site-packages is in PYTHONPATH, or customize your Python virtual environment permanently with

    import sys
    sys.path.insert(0, '/opt/VTK-7.0.0/lib/python3.5/site-packages')

in /path/to/your/virtualenv/lib/python3.5/sitecustomize.py.
