To me it seems when you configured you turned on too many things and
from 3 years of experience with vtk on windows, that can be dangerous
in that your builds will fail. At this point I would delete the cache,
and reconfigure with just the minimum options to get you what you
need.

When I configure (and I am using Qt) I turn off testing and most of
the times turn off examples. Then enable GUI support then enable QT.
Then I generate and build.
