[Paraview] build problems on windows

[Paul Edwards]

Hi

I actually switched to Visual Studio makefiles which removed the error about
not knowing how to make "D:\scratch\win32\paraview\bin\vtkWrapClientServer"
(and I did have other issues too...).  Now I am trying to go back to using
nmake and the problem is back.  I have tried building the example filter
that comes with ParaView in a separate location? I added the following to
the top of the CMakeLists.txt:

8<------------------------------------------------------------------
CMAKE_MINIMUM_REQUIRED(VERSION 2.6)
FIND_PACKAGE(ParaView REQUIRED)
INCLUDE(${PARAVIEW_USE_FILE})
------------------------------------------------------------------>8

Here is the output from trying to build:

8<------------------------------------------------------------------
D:\scratch\win32\tmp\Filter-build>cmake -G "NMake Makefiles" ..\Filter

I can't work out what it could be as I built ParaView with nmake.  BTW I'm
using latest ParaView and cmake 2.8.2.

Can anyone help?

Thanks in advance,
Paul
