[Paraview-developers] Paraview and VS2013 compile errors

[Utkarsh Ayachit]

Gerald,

You should brace yourself :):
+ Qt 5 support in ParaView currently is experimental. We still aren't
officially supporting it.
+ VS2013 suppport for Superbuilds is experimental too. Should work,
but not if you're using internal Python yet.
+ External VTK is definitely not supported yet, I am afraid.

And I am also migrating from VS 2008 to 2013 at the same time, so many things to do. I also found out that I need to build qt with the no-angle and opengl switch to get the vtk opengl stuff working...., omg, everything back to beginning....
