[CMake] CMake+QT always failed for the first build, and succeeded for second build or later.

Thank you very much for your help, Jakob, I replace file(GLOB) with set()
macro. It works now. I'll look at qt4_wrap_cpp macro and see if I can use
it. In my case, Qt may not be installed on the system with the default
location, it is under the Thirdparty directory. I am not sure if the
macro can automatically find Qt.
Thanks again,
