You should be able to open the CMakeLists.txt in the ParaView source
directory, choose a build directory and then run cmake. After that I often
run cmake-gui in the build directory and get everything set up the way I
want it.

On the whole it works very well, and I mainly go back to vim to edit CMake
files. I would like to add some  syntax highlighting for CMake so I don't
need to do that either. You can alter the build options and pass -j8 (or
whatever is appropriate), and change the binary to ParaView.

They also just released Qt Creator 2, and I highly recommend the upgrade.

Thanks,

Marcus
