[Paraview-developers] ParaView Release OSX Compilation

Hey Cory,

I've successfully built the paraview superbuild with default option on my
mac.
I'm try to do the same with bigmac options.
I'm wondering, why is the superbuild using a local, non-superbuild,
"Qt-4.8.6-patched" install ?
QT_QMAKE_EXECUTABLE:FILEPATH
/Users/kitware/dashboards/support/Qt-4.8.6-patched/bin/qmake
Should I be worried about the "patched" name ? Can I just use the
superbuild Qt ?
