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

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.

Actually, the issue is with pqWidgets. Compiling this library I get hundreds of errors of the type:

21>moc_ctkDoubleRangeSlider.cxx(96): warning C4273: 'ctkDoubleRangeSlider::qt_static_metacall' : inconsistent dll linkage

Note that this is with the generated moc_* files of pqWidgets so I am not sure what is happening.
