Here is what we are saying for ParaView 3.4.0

1: Download the source for PV 3.4.0 from the kitware website.
2: Uncompress the file, this should create a folder ParaView
3: cd into ParaView
4: mkdir Build
5: cd Build
6: ccmake ../
   6a: Turn ON SHARED_LIBS
   6b: [c]onfigure
   6c: [g]enerate
7: make  ( Wait a long time for the build. use the -jx flag for make  
to speed up the compile)
8: You are done with paraview build. DO NOT "install" paraview anywhere.

Assume this was done in /home/jmazo/paraview/Build
export QTDIR=/home/jmazo/paraview/Build

Now try to build your plugin. Qt and ParaView specific macros should  
be found.

If you are building ParaView anyway you may want to consider having  
your plugin build as part of the ParaView build.
