Hi Aashish,

I did something similar to what you suggested (I think).  First I made a simple 
CMakeLists.txt file by customizing the Qt example provided.  I did

cmake -G "CodeBlocks - MinGW Makefiles" CMakeLists.txt

in the directory where my code resides.

I then started CodeBlocks, opened CMakeLists.txt, and asked for a build.  To my 
surprise it built application.exe, which runs as expected.

There is one difference between this and the executable I'd previously built 
with QtCreator (manually handling the include files).  The CB executable is 3713 
KB, while the QtCreated one is 475 KB.  I'm guessing that the difference is that 
the CB version has statically linked the Qt and/or VTK libraries.  Is this 
correct?  If so, would you be so kind as to tell me how to tell CMake (or CB) to 
use dynamic linking?

Thanks
Gib
