[vtkusers] Wrong CMake configuration for VTK+Qt-Projects in Visual Studio

[Rocco Gasteiger]

Hello everybody,

 

I use CMake to configure a VTK+Qt project in Visual Studio 9 on a Windows 7
machine. According to information in this mailing list and other examples I
create my own CMakeLists.txt file and it works.almost! I can build and link
my project correctly against VTK but if I start my program within (or
outside of) Visual Studio I get a error that some (I think all) VTK dlls are
missing e.g. vtkCommon.dll.  In my environment variables I already set a
path (in the Path-variable or VTK_DIR) to the binary folder of the compiled
VTK sources. Within this folder I have a debug and release folder. 

 

Currently, I can only resolve this behavior in one of two ways. 

1.       I set the path in my environment variables to the debug or release
folder and can run the program in debug or release mode.

2.       I set PATH=$(QTDIR)\bin;$(VTK_DIR)\$(OutDir) as entry in the
debugging environment in the project properties (QTDIR was set in the
environment variables too)

 

But I think this manual effort is not necessary if I configure my
CMakeLists.txt correctly. So I do something wrong and maybe somebody can
help me. 

At the end of this mail you find the (shortened) content of my
CMakeLists.txt file.

 

Many thanks in advance for any help or hint
