[CMake] cmake qt4 for dummies

[David Cole]

The example that demonstrates how to use BundleUtilities contains a Qt
app. See the CMakeLists file in that project for clues about how to
structure a Qt application.

See also CMake itself, in the CMake/Source/QtDialog. And ParaView, too
-- it's a Qt app.

Start with the example, though, it's much simpler than either CMake or ParaView.


HTH,
David
