I am trying to compile VTK5.0 with Qt GUI Support in Windows 2000 that has Qt Open-Sourced 4.1.2 and CMake 2.4.2 installed.
After QVTK is enabled in CMake, configuring it will prompt a message of "QtCore/QtGUI library is not found". This was because CMake did not find Qt libraries with prefix "lib" and suffix ".a". At the end, I found a solution, that was to modify the "CMake/Share/Modules/Windows.cmake" file and change the library prefix and suffix value to the following,
SET(CMAKE_FIND_LIBRARY_PREFIXES "lib")
SET(CMAKE_FIND_LIBRARY_SUFFIXES ".a")
After that, CMake was able to find all the Qt libraries and a Makefile was generated successfully. Then I used "nmake" to start compiling. However, an error (" libQtCore4.a.lib" is not found) was displayed during linking QVTK.dll with other Qt libraries.
I realised the problem was also from the "Windows.cmake" file. Since SET(CMAKE_LINK_LIBRARY_SUFFIX ".lib"), all Qt libraries are added extension of ".lib" during linking. Then I changed the setting to SET(CMAKE_LINK_LIBRARY_SUFFIX ""). After that, linking Qt libraries become possible, however, linking the other libraries are not possible. Because there are libraries with extension ".lib".
Does anyone know how to solve this problem, i.e. to let CMake recognise all libraries with either extension of ".a" or ".lib". I will greatly appreciate your help.
