That's because you have the Qt libraries are specified wrong.

SET (QT_LIBRARIES $ENV{QTDIR}/lib/qtcore $ENV{QTDIR}/lib/qtmain $ENV 
{QTDIR}/lib/qtGUI $ENV{QTDIR}/lib/qtOpenGL winmm imm32 wsock32)

Instead of "$ENV{QTDIR}/lib/qtcore," do "$ENV{QTDIR}/lib/qtcore4.lib" with the full library name and so forth.
Or remove the paths and just do  "qtgui4 qtcore4" and use LINK_DIRECTORIES.
By the way, QtOpenGL is not required, so don't link it in, because VTK provides all the that support.
