Download and Build EventQtSlotConnect¶
Click here to download EventQtSlotConnect and its CMakeLists.txt file. Once the tarball EventQtSlotConnect.tar has been downloaded and extracted,
cd EventQtSlotConnect/build
This example requires Qt and VTK.
If VTK and Qt are installed:
cmake ..
If VTK is not installed but compiled on your system, you will need to specify the path to your VTK build:
cmake -DVTK_DIR=/home/me/vtk_build ..
If Qt is not found on your system, you will need to tell CMake where to find qmake:
cmake -DQT_QMAKE_EXECUTABLE:FILEPATH=/usr/something/qmake ..
Build the project:
make
and run it:
./EventQtSlotConnect
WINDOWS USERS
Be sure to add the VTK bin directory to your path. This will resolve the VTK dll's at run time. You may also need to add a Qt related path.
