Adding headers to Cmake - compilation

Question

I am trying to run the examples from VTK and modify them to get to what I want to render on screen.
I am currently trying to add a server application running in parallel to the VTK rendering. I already have my code written for the server but I was wondering how I could add these headers and cpp to CMakeLists.txt.
Indeed, this is the CMakeLists.txt I have so far:
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.8)
PROJECT(RotateActor)
option(INCLUDE_SERVER
"Use the server implementation" ON)
# add the Server library?
if (INCLUDE_SERVER)
include_directories({${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/Server/})
set(SOURCES ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/Server/tcp_server.cpp ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/Server/tcp_server.h)
endif (INCLUDE_SERVER)
find_package(VTK REQUIRED)
include(${VTK_USE_FILE})
add_executable(RotateActor MACOSX_BUNDLE RotateActor ${SOURCES})
if(VTK_LIBRARIES)
target_link_libraries(RotateActor ${VTK_LIBRARIES})
else()
target_link_libraries(RotateActor vtkHybrid vtkWidgets)
endif()
I then generate using CMake and VS2012. When opening the sln file and trying to generate I get the following error so I'm guessing my integration of the headers is not correct.
C:\...\RotateActor.cxx(12): fatal error C1083: Impossible d'ouvrir le fichier include : 'tcp_server.h' : No such file or directory
I don't think you need the RotateActor.cxx file, but if you do let me know.
Thanks in advance for the help.

I see some problems in your CMake file. First of all, your *.h files musn't be given in the add_executable command. Try something like that :
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.8)
project(RotateActor)
option(INCLUDE_SERVER "Use the server implementation" ON)
# Manage your libraries before your sources
find_package(VTK REQUIRED)
include(${VTK_USE_FILE})
# add the Server library ?
# Here, maybe use the path from the root, and not from the local dir ?
# Don't add the .h in the sources
if(INCLUDE_SERVER)
include_directories({${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/Server})
set(RotateActor_CPP_SOURCES
${RotateActor_CPP_SOURCES}
${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/Server/tcp_server.cpp
)
endif()
if(NOT VTK_LIBRARIES)
set(VTK_LIBRARIES vtkHybrid vtkWidgets)
endif()
add_executable(RotateActor ${RotateActor_CPP_SOURCES})
target_link_libraries(RotateActor ${VTK_LIBRARIES})
