我在github上按照这些命令在我的机器上安装vtk。我还安装了所有依赖项。当运行cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$HOME/vtk-inst时，我得到这个错误：
CMake Warning:
No source or binary directory provided. Both will be assumed to be the
same as the current working directory, but note that this warning will
become a fatal error in future CMake releases.
CMake Error: The source directory "/home/usr/usr/software/vtk/build" does not appear to contain CMakeLists.txt.
Specify --help for usage, or press the help button on the CMake GUI.
之后，我将CmakeLists.txt复制到构建目录中，上面写着：
CMake Warning:
No source or binary directory provided. Both will be assumed to be the
same as the current working directory, but note that this warning will
become a fatal error in future CMake releases.

CMake似乎认为构建目录就是源目录。您需要在构建目录中运行CMake，并将源目录作为命令行参数。
例如，如果源目录是~/vtk，而构建目录是~/vtk-build，那么您可以执行以下操作：
cd ~/vtk-build; cmake ~/vtk
所以我在vtk构建中，告诉cmake源目录是~/vtk
