[Ctk-developers] getting things to work in windows

[Dean Inglis]

Hi Mark,

I had similar issues when building VTK with QT GUI support.
Try installing Qt ( qt-win-opensource-4.7.1-vs2008.exe)
to just D:/Qt as root instead of
D:/Qt/2010.05, add D:/Qt/bin and D:/Qt/qt/bin to
your path environment variable.  I installed to C:/Qt
even though all my development is done on a D: drive
and those issues issues have since resolved.

Dean
