[vtkusers] Qt/VTK integration with VTK_QT

[Simon DROUIN]

Hi Matt,

Not sure which VTK_QT you are using. I downloaded the one written by 
Matthias Koenig at:

http://wwwisg.cs.uni-magdeburg.de/~makoenig

Anyways, I compiled the 2 classes (vtkQtRenderWindow and 
vtkQtRenderWindowInteractor) and made a static library out of it. I 
compile my projects using CMake. Here is an example/template of a 
CMakeLists.txt I use:

#================================
# Beginning of example
#================================
PROJECT (ProjectName)

#================================
# Settings for Qt
#================================

INCLUDE (${CMAKE_ROOT}/Modules/FindQt.cmake)

SET(CMAKE_C_FLAGS "${CMAKE_C_FLAGS} ${QT_DEFINITIONS}")
SET(CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS "${CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS} ${QT_DEFINITIONS}")
INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES(${QT_INCLUDE_DIR})
LINK_DIRECTORIES(${QT_QT_LIBRARY})


SET( MY_SRC main.cpp )
SET( MY_HDR mainwindow.h )
SET( MY_GUI_SRC mainwindow.ui )

IF(QT_WRAP_UI)
  QT_WRAP_UI( ExecutableName MY_HDR MY_SRC MY_GUI_SRC )
ENDIF(QT_WRAP_UI)

LINK_LIBRARIES( ${QT_LIBRARIES} )

#================================
# Settings for VTK
#================================

INCLUDE (${CMAKE_ROOT}/Modules/FindVTK.cmake)
IF (USE_VTK_FILE)
  INCLUDE(${USE_VTK_FILE})
ENDIF (USE_VTK_FILE)

LINK_LIBRARIES( vtkHybrid vtkqt )


#================================
# Define sources
#================================
INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES(../vtkqt)
LINK_DIRECTORIES(../vtkqt)
ADD_EXECUTABLE( ExecutableName MY_SRC )

#================================
# End of example
#================================
