Summary	0002024: Build error when using wrong version of Qt
Description	Many people complain that they cannot build Slicer. Mostly it's because they don't follow the build instructions. They start the build, wait for several hours, then get an error message that they cannot decipher. People assume that QT 4.8 must be good if 4.7.4 is required => Check the QT version and stop with an error during the configuration step if there is a mismatch Warning is probably not enough, most people just goes on and try the build anyway and the error messages are not obvious enough.
Tags	No tags attached.

lassoan 2012-06-05 11:33 developer ~0004772	Tested r20323 on Win7, MSVC2008 and it worked well. CMake displayed a configuration error when attempted to build Slicer using a wrong QT version: "error: Slicer requires Qt 4.7.4 -- you cannot use Qt 4.8.0."
