[vtkusers] trouble setting up VTK for Qt creator

Wed Jul 27 15:33:54 EDT 2011

I want to use Qt Creator as my IDE, not Visual Studio and want to get VTK to
work for Qt Creator. The problem is that it CMake doesn't let me select Qt
Creator as a compiler in their code and I don't have any other compilers
that are compatible. I don't mind rebuilding Qt Creator with Visual Studio -
although I'm not exactly sure how to do that. However, if I could use
another compiler that would produce compatible code to Qt Creator, then I
would prefer that option, even if it meant downloading another compiler just
to build VTK - and then I could hopefully get VTK to work in Qt Creator.
