[Paraview] superbuild fails on OS X [solved]

[Fabian Wein]

I found it: Qt needs to be enabled!

ENABLE_qt4 results in the error below, with USE_SYSTEM_qt4 (installed with brew) it works!

While I understand that there is no gui without qt and that it makes sense to build paraview without gui, I suggest to make it 
a little clearer:

The help for ENABLE_qt* is just „Request to build project qt*“. Maybe an „Qt is necessary for the gui“ could be added. Also the error message from make install could be enriched with a check for Qt and a message.
