How to set the qt path for Paraview installed via vcpkg?

[flipper]

My Qt application wants to incorporate ParaView installed via vcpkg, but the Qt bundled with ParaView conflicts with my own Qt. How can I set the path of the Qt bundled with ParaView to use my own Qt?Thank you very much!

with my own Qt

Why not using Qt from vcpkg instead ?
Or build you own ParaView instead ?

Thank you for your reply. I found that installing qt and paraview through vcpkg bundled too many unnecessary dependencies, and the installation took a very long time. Also, I’m currently building manually from the paraview source code. Is there a way to fully automate building ParaView into my existing Qt application? Thank you so much!

Then there is no Qt shipped with ParaView

Is there a way to fully automate building ParaView into my existing Qt application?

Yes, absolutely. Just build ParaView against your existing Qt then create a ParaView branded application.

Yes, that’s fine.

I wanted to use Cmake’s FetchContent module to automatically process it, but failed.Could you please provide some examples for reference?

Thank you so much!
