[vtkusers] [CMake] QT_QTCORE_LIBRARY_DEBUG-NOTFOUND

[Dominik Szczerba]

Many thanks, I did not know that... (But then again, how could I?) That 
explains NOTFOUND, if a human user can not find it... But as posted 
before, accepting NOTFOUND with no action like 
-DQT_QTCORE_LIBRARY_DEBUG=/usr/lib/libQtCore.so.4.5.0 I still get the 
debugging symbols in the backtrace. I have no *.debug files mentioned 
before... I do not like this because it leaves me uncertain if I am 
doing the right thing or confusing the debugger (and yes, at the moment 
my backtrace is rather enigmatic). I will probably compile QT myself and 
recompile my VTK build to have a bigger control.
Many thanks for valuable remarks,
Dominik
