Configuring paraview master with VTK_USE_SYSTEM_PUGIXML=ON errors with:

CMake Error at VTK/IO/CityGML/CMakeLists.txt:8 (get_target_property):
  get_target_property() called with non-existent target "pugixml".

This is caused by Paraview providing a CMake/Findpugixml.cmake script file while the VTK/IO/CityGML relies on the imported target:

# pugixml does not set _INCLUDE_DIRS or _LIBRARIES
if(VTK_USE_SYSTEM_PUGIXML AND NOT pugixml_INCLUDE_DIRS)
  find_package(pugixml REQUIRED)

  get_target_property(pugixml_INCLUDE_DIRS pugixml INTERFACE_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES)
  get_target_property(pugixml_LIBRARIES pugixml LOCATION)
  include_directories(${pugixml_INCLUDE_DIRS})
  vtk_module_link_libraries(vtkIOCityGML LINK_PRIVATE ${pugixml_LIBRARIES})
endif()

So when "find_package(pugixml REQUIRED)" is called it goes throug paraview's Findpugixml.cmake instead of pugixml-config.cmake.

Configuring goes trhough if I remove Findpugixml.cmake
