Here is the descriptions for selected lines:

Make cmake to find VTK and Qt4 library and include UseVTK.cmake and UseQt4.cmake, where useful settings are defined.

<source lang=cmake> find_package(VTK REQUIRED) include(${VTK_USE_FILE})

find_package(Qt4 REQUIRED) include(${QT_USE_FILE}) </source>

Tell cmake we want to compile Test.cpp into a binary called Test. <source lang=cmake> ADD_EXECUTABLE(Test Test.cpp) </source>

Tell cmake we need to link Test against vtkHybrid. This is the "catch all" VTK library. If you don't know what to link to, most of the time vtkHybrid will have what you need. <source lang=cmake> TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES(Test vtkHybrid) </source>
