Hi,

I am learning the right way to write cmake files. As part of this I have
downloaded the source code of vtk and cmake (to see its cmake files), and
built them using visual studio on Windows 7.

At present my main doubt is about the dlls. In cmake bin (the build output
directory) directory I could not find any third party libraries (dll) like
qt. But cmake gui has a dependency on qt (I have checked the linker
settings of the project). I am also able to run the cmake gui from the bin
directory.

How cmake effectively resolves the dll dependency? Usually in our projects,
we just copy the dlls to the executable directory.here what method is used
by cmake-gui ?

Thanks,
  Lloyd
