[vtkusers] VTK and QT Projects (QVTKWidget.h)

[Darshan Pai]

Hi Alex,

you should probably include the QVTKWidget.h that is present in your bin
folder rather than the source folder . The reason is that when you compile
VTK with GUISupport it generates a moc file for the widget which is saved in
the bin folder and will be needed for QT .

Regards
Darshan
