I usually use a self-built Qt 4.6.2 with ParaView. I have to admit
that I have not done this in a while though, since maybe ParaView
3.6.2 days. I don't think I have ever had any problems with a self
compiled Qt and ParaView on any platform and operating system (Windows
32 XP, 7 x64, OS X, Linux).
In order to build a 64 bit ParaView you will need a 64 bit Qt. The
question is, do you really _need_ a 64 bit ParaView? Just because you
are running a 64 bit Windows doesn't mean you need to run a 64 bit
ParaView. You would need a 64 bit ParaView IF you are accessing Data
sets larger than 2GB or have a HUGE pipeline that will need more than
the 2GB limit of 32 bit processes**

Windows, at least according to my experiences.

Hi!
I am about to install the latest Paraview on a 64-Bit Windows
System. When doing this on a 32-bit Windows I made a bad and painful
experience when trying to setup everything starting with a self-
compiled QT. I finally succeeded when I skipped that QT compiling
part and used a QT binary instead that was compiled for VisualStudio
(this is important). However, you cannot download a 64Bit binary of
QT for Windows in general.
I am shivering in fear when thinking about what will happen if I try
to do this QT compiling on the 64-Bit System. I see my self doing
this all over and over without success, as it happened before on the
32Bit system. So I wanted to be sure if that 64Bit version of QT is
actually needed for 64Bit Paraview. Maybe the binary 32Bit suffices
already?
If not, does anyone have experience in this? I stopped trying after
at least 3 differently parameterized compilations of QT turned out
to not be what Paraview was looking for. If I need to, how would I
compile QT to make it work with Paraview64 for Visual Studio?
Best regards,
Christian
