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

[Michael Jackson]

If you are building a 64 Bit Qt Application the only thing you need to  
download from Nokia is the Qt-Everywhere source code. There is nothing  
else there that will help you. They only have Pre-compiled 32 bit  
binaries for Visual Studio and MinGW. And you can not combine (Easily)  
MinGW libraries with Visual Studio libraries.
