[vtkusers] trouble setting up VTK for Qt creator

Wed Jul 27 12:42:08 EDT 2011

I tried using the path C:\QtSDK\Desktop\Qt\4.7.3\mingw\bin\qmake.exe for the
QT_QMAKE_EXECUTABLE, but got this message.

CMake Error at C:/Program Files (x86)/CMake
2.8/share/cmake-2.8/Modules/FindQt4.cmake:575 (MESSAGE):

It appears you're trying to use Visual Studio with Qt built by mingw.

Those compilers do not produce code compatible with each other.

Call Stack (most recent call first):

CMakeLists.txt:305 (FIND_PACKAGE)

Also, I used the path C:/QtSDK/Desktop/Qt/4.7.3/mingw/include/QtDesigner for
the QT_QTDESIGNER_INCLUDE_DIR. I also tried it leaving this blank and got a
similar message.

Qt Creator wasn't on the list of generators used by CMake, so I used Visual
Studio 10 as my generator (that's the only other compiler on my computer
besides Qt Creator). I noticed Code Blocks could be used as a generator in
CMake. I'm guessing I could download this and use it as the generator and
then it (might??) be compatible with Qt Creator. I'd rather find another way
around this problem if possible, but if I have to, I can go down this route.
