[vtkusers] Static Link VTK

[Mehdi Esteghamatian]

Yes your right it should be fine although I am not getting it right yet. My
previous qt was compiled dynamically. So, I still had to put QT dlls in the
target folder.

Now I compiled the qt statically which is a bit confusing because It did
not create separate folders for statics and dynamic libraries,  so now
things look like below in lib folder (D:\...\QT\4.8.4\lib). For every
library I have 4 versions. for example for QTCore I have the followings

QtCore.lib     ->  static release
QtCored.lib   -> static debug
QtCore.lib    -> dynamic rlease
QtCore.lib    -> dynamic debug

*NOW *the problem is that I am getting redefinition link errors as below
which is probably because Visual Studio (2010) still tries to compile the
target dynamically which should no longer be the case.

I guess I need to somehow tell the VS to stick to static libraries only
either directly or through CMakeLists.txt (which I am not good at).

Please let me know if there is any suggestions.

Regards,

Mehdi
