I set the appropriate CMake variables for the missing QtWeb kit, configured and started to build. I am getting errors of the type:

so that cleared up a few of the errors but now I am getting this:


Error    187    error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "__declspec(dllimport) const pqAnimationKeyFrame::`vftable'{for `QObject'}" (__imp_??_7pqAnimationKeyFrame@@6BQObject@@@) referenced in function "public: __cdecl pqAnimationKeyFrame::pqAnimationKeyFrame(class pqAnimationTrack *,class QGraphicsScene *)" (??0pqAnimationKeyFrame@@QEAA at PEAVpqAnimationTrack@@PEAVQGraphicsScene@@@Z)

This is also with the just released ParaView 4.0.1 sources. What I find strange is that a release was done from these sources. I think my self compiled Qt is in some way causing these errors as I checked the Dashboard and none of the Windows computers seem to be having these issues. Just seems odd that everyone else can compile ParaView without a problem but I can not.

Thoughts?
