I am running CMake 2.8.7 for these builds. I am also using VS2008 SP1 for the build because I need it match exactly the Kitware build environment. I didn't do anything special in the install of Visual Studio. I did put the CMake installation in C:/Applications (where I put some other items).
I pulled the ParaView source from the ParaView download page and unpacked it. I do run Windows 7 x64 Ult in a Parallels Virtual Machine hosted on OS X 10.6.8. The VM has 4 CPUs and 4GB of Memory. The host system has 32GB of RAM. The other interesting part is that I tool a look at my HDF5 1.8.7 source (Directly from the HDF5 group) and the H5public.h file is different from that included with VTK/Utilities. In the VTK/Utilities/vtkhdf5 version there is an extra #ifdef WIN32 #undef ssize_t #endif Which I am not sure why it is needed. I see that the version of HDF5 that is included with VTK is HDF5 1.8.5-post2 which was still being developed. The latest is 1.8.8 with a soon to be released 1.8.9. I know there have been some bug fixes to the CMake files in these later versions. Maybe that would help to update HDF5 to a slightly newer version. I build HDF5 in both 32 and 64 bit without issues on windows all the time.
