[Paraview] Which QT for 64-Bit Version for Windows

[Eric E. Monson]

Hey Christian,

I recently had to compile PV for Windows7 64-bit, and it didn't end up being that bad. 

I used Qt 4.6.2 open source (everywhere). I ran these commands from the 64-bit Visual Studio Pro command prompt (I can't remember if I was running as Administrator) in the Qt source directory:

configure.exe -release -plugin-sql-sqlite
nmake
nmake install

nmake took about 3 hours. (The sqlite plugin was for another project.)

Not sure that the "nmake install" did anything. The last few messages kept were saying something about not being able to do a cyclic copy.

You can tell I'm not an expert in this, but I _did_ work just fine.

When doing this on a 32-bit Windows I made a bad and painful experience when trying to setup everything starting with a self-compiled QT. I finally succeeded when I skipped that QT compiling part and used a QT binary instead that was compiled for VisualStudio (this is important). However, you cannot download a 64Bit binary of QT for Windows in general.

I see my self doing this all over and over without success, as it happened before on the 32Bit system. So I wanted to be sure if that 64Bit version of QT is actually needed for 64Bit Paraview. Maybe the binary 32Bit suffices already?
