you need python in the path for QT 5 to build for windows. specifically python with bz2 module.... both running configure and nmake
the next problem you will encounter after getting past the QT 5 which I am still stuck is to build python. Python 3 will compile with vs2015 express, python 2.x will not. c++ time zone related variables changes. But I am not able to compile pv with python 3..... I even tried to fix the time zone related compile but end up with linking error at the very end. because of this, i think win7 or win10 pv will only work with vs2013 express..... hth -s ________________________________ From: ParaView [[email protected]] on behalf of Mega Mind [[email protected]] Sent: Saturday, August 13, 2016 5:00 PM To: Shawn Waldon Cc: ParaView list Subject: [Non-DoD Source] Re: [Paraview] Qt version support update 2016 All active links contained in this email were disabled.

I always get errors when building or opening the paraview.exe. For Qt the 4.x versions seem to have only x86 installs but I installed 4.8 anyway. When trying Qt 5.7 I get a failed build with 3 errors and over 350 warnings. Also noted that in Cmake configure it would still reference Qt 4 even after setting Qt5_DIR Qt5Core_DIR Qt5Widgets_DIR etc and changing all paths to proper reference directories. The only fix was to uninstall Qt 4 but I was able to get a build with no errors when it was using both Qt 4 & 5 strangely but when opening paraview,exe the 'system error' message was Qt5Widgets.dll does not exist. It does though and is in "C:\Program Files (x86)\Qt\5.7\msvc2015_64\bin\" so I tried to manually change that in any Cmake config file I could find but nothing worked out. I've tried hundreds of things over the past three days and read and followed the wiki many times and I'm coming to the conclusion no one is using Win 64 which seems strange to me but I guess everyone is using Unix.

Note that some things may be buggy when building against Qt5, I don't know the full list of current issues, just that there are some. Also note that you have to specify the location of Qt5 differently to CMake. CMake doesn't use the QT_QMAKE_EXECUTABLE variable for Qt5, instead it uses Qt5_DIR. This should point to .../lib/cmake/Qt5 inside your Qt5 install.

Cmake throws error that Qt 4.x required but read on mailing list some guys are using Qt 5.x. I'm installing Qt 4.8.1 but the only option seems to be x86 and for Visual Studio 2010. Trying to build on Win7 64bit with MSVisual Studio 2015 install. _______________________________________________ Powered by Caution-www.kitware.com < Caution-http://www.kitware.com > Visit other Kitware open-source projects at Caution-http://www.kitware.com/opensource/opensource.html < Caution-http://www.kitware.com/opensource/opensource.html > Please keep messages on-topic and check the ParaView Wiki at: Caution-http://paraview.org/Wiki/ParaView < Caution-http://paraview.org/Wiki/ParaView > Search the list archives at: Caution-http://markmail.org/search/?q=ParaView < Caution-http://markmail.org/search/?q=ParaView > Follow this link to subscribe/unsubscribe: Caution-http://public.kitware.com/mailman/listinfo/paraview < Caution-http://public.kitware.com/mailman/listinfo/paraview >
