Compiling Octomap under Windows 7 VC++2008, linker error DLL paths

[tmdiv]

While compiling Octomap liboctomap.dll was not found by exampleEDT3D, exampleEDTOctomap, octovis.
Visual produces this DLL for debug in c:/octomap-1.6.1/lib/debug, for release in c:/octomap-1.6.1/lib/release. In the output the missing lib was supposed to be in ......\lib\liboctomap.dll (not divided to release and debug). How to force cmake configs to set dll paths correctly ?

I set all the linker settings so the paths are correct now. The only last thing that remain is octovis-shared linker error so octovis.dll is not generated. 7 errors connected with the same QObject class. For example:

SelectionBox.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "public: virtual bool __thiscall QObject::event(class QEvent *)" (?event@QObject@@UAE_NPAVQEvent@@@Z)

The project has in include SelectionBox.h
Is this some QGLViewer library problem ?

Yes, there is a problem linking Qt. These instructions should detail the compilation and a few fixes needed for VC++: https://github.com/OctoMap/octomap/tree/devel/octovis#microsoft-visual-studio-2010

If you find that additional steps are needed, just update the instructions via pull request.

Despite the instructions there are still problems with release and debug folders, lib names octomap and octomath produces lib in /bin folder while other subprojects search for lib in /lib directory.
After changing filenames and copying files to different folders manually, all exe files work.

Fixed now, the CMake config for windows now drops the Release and Debug path prefixes and puts the .lib files for linking into the exported CMake configs.
