SimpleViewerExampleQt:

• Install Qt (Desktop OpenGL version)
• Download OpenSceneGraph, run CMake to build it and set the paths to Qt
• Set environment variables for boost, Qt, OSG and your development environment with a script like this: set_devenv64-VS2013.cmd
• Create a shortcut with target type 'Windows Command Script' and target 'Drive:\path\to\workspace\set_devenv-VS2013.cmd' to be able to start the script with a click
