When installing VTK, several of the vtkQtChart*.h files in GUISupport/Qt/Chart are not copied into the installed headers folder, which leads to compiler errors when using any of these within MITK. A vtk bug (#8585) exists describing (part) of this problem.
Todo:
1.) Check if VTK is already adressing this bug in the recent CVS version
2.) If not, fix the problem and send a patch to Kitware

| Resolved | None | T2915 VTK Installer: vtkQtChart*.h files need to be copied into header folder |
As a workaround, currently all vtkQtChart*.h files are placed in the folder
mitk/Modules/QmitkExt/vtkQtChartHeaders/
so that they are found even if they are not present in the VTK install header folder
Workaround appears sufficient for 3M3. At a later time, a fix could be proposed by us to VTK, or we wait for Kitware to fix this in a future VTK version. Opened new T2999 for this.
Closing this bug.
