Ah, great, thanks. What I just wondered: do I need the whole SDK or just
the runtime environment? It just turned out that if you want to download
the complete SDK you need to compile with mingw anyway...

Hey Christian,
I recently had to compile PV for Windows7 64-bit, and it didn't end up
being that bad.
I used Qt 4.6.2 open source (everywhere). I ran these commands from
the 64-bit Visual Studio Pro command prompt (I can't remember if I was
running as Administrator) in the Qt source directory:
configure.exe -release -plugin-sql-sqlite
nmake
nmake install
nmake took about 3 hours. (The sqlite plugin was for another project.)
Not sure that the "nmake install" did anything. The last few messages
kept were saying something about not being able to do a cyclic copy.
You can tell I'm not an expert in this, but I _did_ work just fine.

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
