[Kst] Windows compilation - MSB1011 errors and qSqrt missing

[Steve Maher]

Hi,

I'm having trouble compiling revision 1363667 on Windows using Visual
Studio 10 and Qt 4.8.5 and am hoping for some guidance.

cmake command line:
*
*

*cmake ../kst/cmake -Dkst_3rdparty_build=ON -Dkst_pch=OFF -Dkst_verbose=ON*


The first issue was qSqrt was not found in libkstapp/view.cpp and
circleitem.cpp.  I added an include for QtCore/qmath.h to both and that
fixed the compilation error.

The second issue is that 43 projects (3rdparty mostly I guess) fail (when
building in VS) with the following error:

*MSBUILD : error MSB1011: Specify which project or solution file to use
because this folder contains more than one project or solution file.*


Below is an example for building 3rdparty getdata.  I'm guessing it's
related to the fact there are multiple *.vcxproj files in
build/3rdparty/getdata/src/getdata-build/ but I'm far from a Visual Studio
expert.  I just opened the kst.sln file after cmake completed and right
clicked on a project and selected "build solution"; is there a more
involved incantation?  I also tried with kst_pch=ON.

Thanks for any tips,

Steve
