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.

Works on my Windows 7x64 running VS 2012 Express. Configured with Qt 4.8.4 self built (No QtWebKit) using CMake 2.8.10.1.

Also tested on Windows 7x64 VS 2010 Pro. Configured with Qt 4.8.4 self built (No QtWebKit) using CMake 2.8.10.1.


Thanks
Mike Jackson.
