[vtkusers] CMAKE + VTK + QT

[Nicolas RANNOU]

So now I built VTK properly but I can't compile the QT examples.

settings:


 CMAKE_BACKWARDS_COMPATIBILITY    2.4                                      
   
 CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE                                                          
   
 CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX             /usr/local                               
   
 DESIRED_QT_VERSION               4                                        
   
 EXECUTABLE_OUTPUT_PATH                                                    
   
 LIBRARY_OUTPUT_PATH                                                       
   
 QT_QMAKE_EXECUTABLE              /usr/bin/qmake-NOTFOUND                  
   
 VTK_DIR                          /usr/lib/vtk-5.0      

output:

 CMake was unable to find desired QT version: 4. Set advanced values
 QT_QMAKE_EXECUTABLE and QT4_QGLOBAL_FILE.

It is very strange because during VTK build, cmake finds qmake at the same
path and when I try to build the example it does not find it.
