VS2012编译安装VTK-6.2.0（支持Qt5.2.1）

0 开发环境    

    计算机系统:Win8.1，CPU:i5-5200

1 VTKData、VTKLargeData

    详见《VTK编译安装 —— VTKData和VTKLargeData使用说明（一）》、《VTK编译安装 —— VTKData和VTKLargeData使用说明（二）》。

2 OpenGL

    一开始时，使用qt-opensource-windows-x86-msvc2012_64-5.2.1.exe，编译失败。后来发现需要OpenGL的支持，改用qt-opensource-windows-x86-msvc2012_64_opengl-5.2.1.exe就好！

   关于Qt的支持，见参考资料[1]。

3 CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH

    在参考资料[1]中提示，使用cmake对VTK进行配置时，需要添加CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH，由于不知其作用，并且觉没有这个必要，因此没有添加，结果编译阶段提示错误：

-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!
127>  See also "D:/VTK/build_Qt/CMakeFiles/CMakeOutput.log".
127>  See also "D:/VTK/build_Qt/CMakeFiles/CMakeError.log".
129>  CMake Error at GUISupport/Qt/CMakeLists.txt:58 (find_package):

129>  
129>    Could not find a package configuration file provided by "Qt5Widgets" with

129>      Qt5WidgetsConfig.cmake
129>      qt5widgets-config.cmake
129>  
129>    Add the installation prefix of "Qt5Widgets" to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH or set
129>    "Qt5Widgets_DIR" to a directory containing one of the above files.  If
129>    "Qt5Widgets" provides a separate development package or SDK, be sure it has
129>    been installed.

    再次使用cmake配置时，也提示

CMake Error at GUISupport/Qt/CMakeLists.txt:58 (find_package):
  By not providing "FindQt5Widgets.cmake" in CMAKE_MODULE_PATH this project
  has asked CMake to find a package configuration file provided by
  "Qt5Widgets", but CMake did not find one.

  Could not find a package configuration file provided by "Qt5Widgets" with
  any of the following names:

    Qt5WidgetsConfig.cmake
    qt5widgets-config.cmake

  Add the installation prefix of "Qt5Widgets" to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH or set
  "Qt5Widgets_DIR" to a directory containing one of the above files.  If
  "Qt5Widgets" provides a separate development package or SDK, be sure it has
  been installed.

    看来，不添加是不行的了，因此按照参考资料[1]的方法，点击cmake界面坐上角的“Add Entry”按钮，添加CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH选项

    注意：另外一个解决方法就是，将Qt库的路径添加到系统环境变量PATH中即可，见《VS2013编译安装VTK-6.2.0_支持Qt5.4.2》。

4 Qt5Gui_glu32_LIBRAYRY

    解决了第3章的问题后，配置过程中又出现了新问题：

 

CMake Error at C:/Qt/Qt5.2.1/5.2.1/msvc2012_64_opengl/lib/cmake/Qt5Gui/Qt5GuiConfigExtras.cmake:16 (message):
  Failed to find "glu32" in "" with CMAKE_CXX_LIBRARY_ARCHITECTURE "".
Call Stack (most recent call first):
  C:/Qt/Qt5.2.1/5.2.1/msvc2012_64_opengl/lib/cmake/Qt5Gui/Qt5GuiConfigExtras.cmake:52 (_qt5gui_find_extra_libs)
  C:/Qt/Qt5.2.1/5.2.1/msvc2012_64_opengl/lib/cmake/Qt5Gui/Qt5GuiConfig.cmake:152 (include)
  C:/Qt/Qt5.2.1/5.2.1/msvc2012_64_opengl/lib/cmake/Qt5Widgets/Qt5WidgetsConfig.cmake:94 (find_package)
  GUISupport/Qt/CMakeLists.txt:58 (find_package)

   根据参考资料[2]的提示，需添加CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH（第3章中已经将此项的值设为Qt的安装路径）的值:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.0\Lib\win8\um\x64

    照着参考资料[2]的方法设置后，发现第4章的问题是解决了，但是第3章的问题又出现了！

    于是将CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH的值同时设为第3章设置的值和C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.0\Lib\win8\um\x64，两者之间用分号隔开(就像环境变量Path中各个变量的分隔一样)。

    其实根据参考资料[2]的提示，可以将第3章的值设置为环境变量Path的值即可，无需都在CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH中设置(未经测试)。

    因此可以猜测CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH指定的是库的路径，相当于环境变量的作用。
