[Ctk-developers] getting things to work in windows

FWIW, I just built CTK on Win 7 , VS 2010, 32  bit, shared build
using
http://get.qt.nokia.com/qt/source/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.7.1.zip

unzipped the source and copied to D:/my_build_folder/qt-4.7.1

in D:/my_build_folder/qt-4.7.1, at a Visual Studio Command Prompt (2010) for 
32 bit, type

configure -debug -no-dsp -no-vcproj -platform win32-msvc2010

then wait a long time, then type "nmake" and wait even longer

git pull the latest CTK source, create a folder D:/my_build_folder/ctk and 
in that folder

cmake path_to_CTK_source -G"NMake Makefiles"

fill in the CMakeCache.txt variable for QT_QMAKE_EXECUTABLE:

QT_QMAKE_EXECUTABLE:FILEPATH=D:/my_build_folder/qt-4.7.1/bin/qmake.exe

tell cmake where your git.exe is (mine was in cygwin)

enable the basic gui widgets

CTK_LIB_Widgets:BOOL=ON

type "nmake" and wait not as long as to build Qt

cd into CTK-built and run "ctest"

I had no errors during the build but one test failure:

98% tests passed, 1 tests failed out of 62

Label Time Summary:
CTKCore               =   7.34 sec
CTKPluginFramework    =  12.43 sec
CTKWidgets            =  64.08 sec

Total Test time (real) =  86.36 sec

The following tests FAILED:
          6 - ctkCommandLineParserTest1 (Failed)
Errors while running CTest

HTH,
Dean

Yes, it doesn't work.
