[vtk-developers] QT_QMAKE_EXECUTABLE is not used when building VTK-7.0.0

[Sankhesh Jhaveri]

​Hi Sangeetha,

The CMake variables for VTK have changed since VTK modularization
<https://blog.kitware.com/vtk-modularization-and-modernization/>. Variables
like VTK_USE_QT, VTK_USE_RENDERING, VTK_USE_TK are obsolete since VTK 6.

Because VTK is a large project, you should try running the cmake from the
GUI (either the cmake-gui or ccmake) to figure out the variables you would
need to change. For guidance on configuring VTK with cmake, take a look at
this wiki page:
http://www.vtk.org/Wiki/VTK/Configure_and_Build#Configure_VTK_with_CMake

Hope that helps.

Sankhesh
