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

[Dave Partyka]

Do you have Visual Studio? If so then the only thing you need is the source:

http://get.qt.nokia.com/qt/source/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.6.2.zip

Extract that and the open a 64-bit Visual Studio Command Prompt

Start -> Programs -> Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 -> Visual Studio Tools
-> Visual Studio 2008 x64

Then cd into the directory where you extracted the source and run the
following

configure <insert any options you might want>
nmake

I don't think namke install works on Windows.

You should have a fully built Qt that you can build ParaView with.
