Hi Jc,
  (please ignore the last message it suffers from premature sending
syndrome!).

   I can confirm that I have configured as outlined in your commit message,
I manually set:
 -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH:STRING="C:\Qt\Qt5.0.2\5.0.2\msvc2012_64"
and
 -DVTK_QT_VERSION:STRING="5"
in the CMake GUI.
I still get the following error when I then configure (after selecting the
VTK_Group_Qt module):

CMake Error at GUISupport/Qt/Testing/Cxx/CMakeLists.txt:21
(set_target_properties):

set_target_properties called with incorrect number of arguments.

The Qt5 variables (${Qt5Widgets_INCLUDE_DIRS}, ${Qt5Widgets_DEFINITIONS},
${Qt5Widgets_EXECUTABLE_COMPILE_FLAGS}) at this point are:

Qt5 Includes:
C:/Qt/Qt5.0.2/5.0.2/msvc2012_64/include/QtWidgets;C:/Qt/Qt5.0.2/5.0.2/msvc2012_64/include/QtGui;C:/Qt/Qt5.0.2/5.0.2/msvc2012_64/include/QtCore;C:/Qt/Qt5.0.2/5.0.2/msvc2012_64/include/;C:/Qt/Qt5.0.2/5.0.2/msvc2012_64//mkspecs/win32-msvc2012

Qt5 Definitions: -DQT_WIDGETS_LIB;-DQT_GUI_LIB;-DQT_CORE_LIB

Qt5 Widgets:

Note that in Ubuntu (which builds with no errors), these variables have the
following values;
Qt5 Includes:
/usr/include/qt5/;/usr/include/qt5/QtWidgets;/usr/include/qt5/QtGui;/usr/include/qt5/QtCore;/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5//mkspecs/linux-g++-64
Qt5 Definitions: -DQT_WIDGETS_LIB;-DQT_GUI_LIB;-DQT_CORE_LIB
Qt5 Widgets compile flags: -fPIE

It is possible to then generate a solution and build.
This build error occurs on line 60 of gl.h:
Error 56 error C2371: 'GLdouble' : redefinition; different basic types
C:\Program
Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.0\Include\um\GL\gl.h 60 1 vtkGUISupportQtOpenGL

It seems to have found all the Qt stuff correctly. The CMakeCache.txt file
is attached, I can't see anything unusual in it.

To confirm QT5 is working correctly, I created a simple test and everything
seems Ok. So I am pretty sure my system is set up correctly. See the
attached HelloWorld.zip.

I think there may be two issues here:
1) In the configuration the Qt5 compile widgets flags are empty - this may
be causing the incorrect number of arguments error.
2) The redefinition error when building implies to me that the windows
definition of GLdouble is not the same as the VTK definition.

Regards
 Andrew
