If you set static build + python, cmake will complain, but in fact static builds with python work fine.<BR>

Hi <BR>
<BR>
I have an issue that I am not sure how to solve, I was wondering if someone could help me please: <BR>
<BR>
I am trying to compile Paraview on windows platform using visual studio, I have QT and VTK installed correctly but when I compile the source code I get an error which says it can not find Python.h library, the issue here is that when I CMake'd the source code I didn't check the option for the python scripting therefore I am not sure why I am getting such an error, that would be unless some other parts of Paraview is using Python.h. How can I solve this problem so the compilation can contiiue!? do I need to download python? is there a specific library that I need to download for visual studio? any help is really appreciated!<BR>
