Qmake project compiles with VS2010 but not with QtCreator

jaleira

I am a Newbie to QtCreator - VS 2010 just sucks ;-) I thought getting started with an easy console application that I've recently written using vtk (not even Qt - sorry!). I created a qmake project for it, which compiles and links just fine when imported to VS2010.

However, when I open the same project with QtCreator (using the MSVC build environment!) it does compile, but throws a lot of linker errors within vtk libraries. Anybody had this problem before? I don't know what to do :-(

Can you paste here a project file?

Sure! This is it:

Add this to a project and check messages. I think that a VTK_LIBS is probably not set.

message($(VTKPATH))
message($(VTK_LIBS))

Both set. These are in my Windows system path. Opening the project file in Visual Studio works just fine, compiles and links with no errors. It's just within QtCreator that I encounter these linker errors.
