[vtkusers] [VTK] Creating an OS X bundle for a VTK example using Qt

Fri Dec 19 03:50:07 EST 2014

Hi there,
looks like the problem was unrelated to VTK or Qt themselves, but to the
way we were trying to create the OS X bundle through our CMakeLists.

Attached is a CMakeLists that should solve the issue.

Please note that you will need to change the {VTK_BIN_PATH} for the
location where your VTK binaries reside, for example
/Users/your_username/Development/Binaries/VTK6/bin

HTH,
JON HAITZ
