Hello,
I’m trying to setup VTK with Qt5. Do I need qt5Qml + Qt5Quick if I just want to create a small project to display DICOM images. I’m asking that because I have these errors which are blocking me from configuring my VTK
```auto
Could not use git to determine source version, using version
CMake Warning at Rendering/OpenGL2/CMakeLists.txt:408 (message):

If you don’t need QtQuick support, you can pass `-DVTK_MODULE_ENABLE_VTK_GUISupportQtQuick=NO`. Otherwise you’ll need to install the QtQuick and QtQml libraries installed as well.

Where and how to add this option?
I’m on Linux machine and I only have this config options. I cant find DVTK\_MODULE\_ENABLE\_VTK\_GUISupportQtQuick field even in advance mode
