QT and CMake

Message 1 in thread

Hey

Im a VTK user that wants to add in some QT open source. I use MSVS 7 to
compile. In the past, I have used QT3 since its open source version would
compile and run on MSVS 7.

If I start using CMake to build QT, can I use MSVS 7 with the open source
version of QT4? or am I still stuck using the minGW compiler?

Thanks

From the 3.3 faqs: http://doc.trolltech.com/3.3/faq.html#1-10
"Qt Open Source edition is available for Unix/X11, Macintosh and Linux/embedded."

So if you built Qt3 using MSVS 7, it was *not* the open source version.

But since version 4.3.x, MSVS is now supported in the open source version:

I should add: Qt is still built using qmake in all versions. CMake is not 
supported for building Qt itself.

But you can easily build applications using Qt with CMake. KDE 
repositories contain a lot of examples for that.
