[Paraview] plugin for 3D Delaunay

[Stefan Murphy]

Sorry to keep this thread going for so long, but I've been trying for
a couple of days to compile paraview in order to try the Delaunay3D
filter.

I've downloaded the "GPL'ed" source code for Qt4.2.3 so that I could
build it with VS 9 2008 and install it.

Then with CMake, I generated the (MS VS Solution) file name ParaView,
which I opened in VS9. I clicked on ALL_BUILD so that it was
highlighted, then from the "Build" menu I selected "Build ALL_BUILD".

After a couple of hours, the build stopped. Here are the last lines of
the output:

There were 1.3 GB of files generated, but no paraview.exe. I've tried
it 3 times with identical results. Any ideas?
