[hzhshok]

Operating system

windows11

Compiler

MSVC

Steps to reproduce the behavior

1. Install vcpkg.
2. Start .\vcpkg.exe install vtk[qt,python,opengl,gdal,geojson,cgns,seacas,sql,proj,netcdf]:x64-windows
3. Delete all installed and packages\vtk_x64-windows\* and buildtrees\vtk\*
4. Edit ports\vtk\portfile.cmake, and add a option: -DVTK_WHEEL_BUILD=ON

# We set all libraries to "system" and explicitly list the ones that should use embedded copies
vcpkg_cmake_configure(
    SOURCE_PATH "${SOURCE_PATH}"
    OPTIONS
        ${FEATURE_OPTIONS}
        ...
        -DCMAKE_FIND_PACKAGE_TARGETS_GLOBAL=ON # Due to Qt6::Platform not being found on Linux platform
	-DVTK_WHEEL_BUILD=ON
5. Build finished

But no setup.py and not generated xxx.whl under installed\x64-windows\tools\python3\Lib or the root installed\x64-windows

Failure logs

It did not have setup.py installed\x64-windows\tools\python3\Lib and not generated xxx.whl under the root path installed\x64-windows.

@hzhshok Thanks for posting this issue. Can you explain what this option is? -DVTK_WHEEL_BUILD=ON

[Neumann-A]

vcpkg doesn't build ready do install wheels. (and is also probably not meant for it)

@FrankXie05 Thanks for your response!
As what i understand the -DVTK_WHEEL_BUILD=ON is a vtk build option to generate xxx.whl file as vtk guide, and as what i understand, vcpkg has supported and integrated vtk into vcpkg builds, vcpkg should be able to build vtk on all vtk options if no specific description.

You know vcpkg is convinent to build package which supported, so i used vcpkg instead of cmake(to install package manually).

Thanks for your answer. Just like Neumann-A said #43300 (comment), vcpkg currently does not support VTK_WHEEL_BUILD.

If this option is a file for building guides as you said, we will not integrate the same content about guides or documents. ：）
