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.
