[Paraview-developers] ParaView Release OSX Compilation

[Bastien Jacquet]

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 ?
