[Paraview] failed to launch paraview.exe

Fri Feb 18 11:04:20 EST 2011

No, I am able to include DirectX in the build. I am not sure whether it helps the rendering performance or potentially causing conflictions with OpenGL. So I guess there is no value in terms of performance gain and induces no conflictions with other settings, right?

It isn't required but is used to do some hardware support queries. Are you getting compile/configure errors complaining about not finding some part of DirectX?

Thanks a lot, David and Utkarsh. I was obnoxious about Qt aspect totally. By using this thread, can you comment on using DirectX with Paraview on Windows?

You should using matching compilers for both ParaView and Qt especially if one is built debug and the other release. Unfortunately ParaView does not build Qt for you.

Hi Utkarsh,

It is the same setup with my MSVC2008 ParaView, where Qt is a prebuild release with MSVC2008 from
http://code.google.com/p/qt-msvc-installer/downloads/list
Very good catch!!! Does that mean I should either rebuild Qt with MSVC2010 or let ParaView build Qt along the way?

Best,

Xulei,

Just to be sure you are using Qt that was built with the same compilter right?
