I am looking at the code:

$ grep -2  SIGN --line-number GUISupport/Qt/QVTKWidget.h.in
143-  virtual QPaintEngine* paintEngine() const;
144-
145:  @Q_SIGNALS@:
146-  // Description:
147-  // This signal will be emitted whenever a mouse event occurs

I do not understand how you can have a QVTKWidget.h in your src path.
Could you try another build with a more explicit binary name that is
outside of the build. And make sure that there is only a
QVTKWidget.h.in in the src tree, and no QVTKWidget.h.

The @Q_SIGNALS@ should have been processed by cmake, you should not
rename any file.
