Bug#979073: libvtk9-dev: RenderingContextOpenGL2 must be configured explicitly

[Drew Parsons]

Package: libvtk9-dev
Version: 9.0.1+dfsg1-5
Severity: normal
Control: affects -1 src:avogadrolibs

I'm trying to build avogadrolibs with VTK support.  It uses
vtkRenderingContextOpenGL2, but this is not currently provided by
libvtk9-dev.

According to discussion at
https://discourse.vtk.org/t/9-0-0-rc1-contextopengl2-not-built/2933
apparently the VTK build now needs to specify RenderingContextOpenGL2
explicitly with -DVTK_MODULE_ENABLE_VTK_RenderingContextOpenGL2=YES:
  cmake -DVTK_MODULE_ENABLE_VTK_RenderingContextOpenGL2=YES ..

Discussion there suggests it was automatically built in the past.
Build behaviour might have changed with commit f46c6717,
https://gitlab.kitware.com/vtk/vtk/-/commit/f46c67172e6dafd239a3fd19ae61490c96ede7dd


(there's some peripherally related discussion at
https://gitlab.kitware.com/vtk/vtk/-/issues/17584 )


Is it possible to enable RenderingContextOpenGL2 in the VTK build?
