[Paraview] Problems in loading plugin

[Rafael March]

Hi Mr. Oshima,

Thanks a lot for your help. I was trying, without success, to do this for a week, and just now I realized what was wrong !

First of all, I was trying to load my plugin having compiled it in debug mode, not release. When I changed this, I could load it without problems, but the Qt GUI was quite weird. Then, as you said, I compiled ParaView with Qt 4.3.3 (instead of Qt 4.3.5, as the Wiki indicates) and pointed my plugin to THIS distribution. I managed to compile it, and now it runs pretty well with the ParaView version distributed by the website. 

ParaView developers, this may be an error in the Wiki. Is the version in the "Downloads" section of the website REALLY compiled with Qt 4.3.5 ? 

Regards,
Rafael March.

Hi Rafael,

I'm not sure if this helps, but I noticed one thing while I was
solving a DLL problem about which I reported recently.

If you run the Qt assitant binary included in
paraview-3.4.0-win32-x86.exe (you may have to add a .exe suffix since
it is simply named "assistant") and select Help->About Qt, a dialog
appears saying "This program uses Qt ... version 4.3.3." Hence my
doubt is that it in fact is Qt 4.3.3 that was used to build the
Kitware's package.

p.s. You may also want to make sure you are doing a Release (not
Debug) build.

Regards,
Takuya
