Develop environment:
VTK-8.2.0
Qt Creator 4.9.0
Based on Qt 5.12.2 (MSVC 2017, 32 bit)
CMake 3.14.3
CMake Generator: Visual Studio 16 2019
Configure compilers for my building kit
C compiler：
C:/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft Visual Studio/2019/Community/VC/Tools/MSVC/14.21.27702/bin/Hostx64/x64/cl.exe
CXX compiler：
C:/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft Visual Studio/2019/Community/VC/Tools/MSVC/14.21.27702/bin/Hostx64/x64/cl.exe
More details are in the following image.
We get the error message like CMake Server connection lost sometimes, just delete CMakeCache.txt and open the project by qtcreator.exe which regards CMakeLists.txt as project file again.
We can also configure the project by script if you like a terminal tool.
The generator is Visual Studio 16 2019 for the current section’s scenarios.

It’s not recommended to use the script to build a big project with CMake on cmd, because you may encounter many different weird bugs such as can’t find header files and environment incorrect.
