Interestingly, building OverView for Windows XP using the MinGW/Msys
target in CMake suffers the same problem.

My first MinGW attempt failed (see
http://www.cmake.org/pipermail/paraview/2009-August/013379.html) but I
was able to get everything to compile by building HDF5 outside the
ParaView source tree, and configuring PARAVIEW_USE_SYSTEM_HDF5 to ON.
But, just like the Xcode build, everything compiles but since the Data
menu is empty, I don't have a way to connect my database.

Stumped,

Zak
