[Ctk-developers] Link error with CTK and VTK

[Jean-Christophe Fillion-Robin]

Hi Quentan,

You are welcome !

I just fixed an issue preventing the Examples from being configured with
the latest version of the CTK source. The fix has now been integrated. See
[1]

Few comments regarding the CMakeLists.txt you pasted above:

  1: It should be "find_package(Qt4 REQUIRED)" instead of "find_package(QT4
REQUIRED)"

  2: Since CTKConfig.cmake already define "VTK_DIR" and
"QT_QMAKE_EXECUTABLE",  you could simply the configuration of your project
by including VTK and Qt after CTK.

That way configuring your project would be as simple as:

  cd TEST_CTK-build
  cmake -DCTK_DIR:PATH=/path/to/CTK-build ../CTK_TEST


All of that said, I wasn't able to reproduce your problem.

Few questions:

  a) Did you build VTK yourself or let the CTK superbuild taking care of it
?

  b) How did you configure CTK ? Which configure option ? On my side I used
the option detailed in [2]. Since I add already a build of VTK available, I
re-used it.
