[Paraview] plugin for 3D Delaunay

[Stefan Murphy]

I am using ParaView3.2.1 downloaded as paraview-3.2.1.zip in the
Latest Stable Release download section.

My first error is:

------ Build started: Project: vtkRendering, Configuration: Debug Win32 ------
Compiling...
vtkWin32OpenGLRenderWindow.cxx
..\..\..\paraview-3.2.1\ParaView3.2.1\VTK\Rendering\vtkWin32OpenGLRenderWindow.cxx(35)
: fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'GL/glaux.h': No such
file or directory
Build log was saved at "file://c:\Documents and
Settings\Owner\Desktop\Organized
Stuff\Software\ParaView3.2.1\paraview-3.2.1-build\VTK\Rendering\vtkRendering.dir\Debug\BuildLog.htm"
vtkRendering - 1 error(s), 0 warning(s)

This is caused by "# include <GL/glaux.h>" in the file
vtkWin32OpenGLRenderWindow.cxx. I searched my C drive and the only
thing with glaux in the file name was libglaux.a in my MinGW\lib
directory. Does this seem like a compiler issue?

When I was installing Qt from the Visual Studio 2008 Command Prompt,
I chose msvc2005 as my compiler. The options were
<g++/msvc/msvc.net/msvc2005/borland/bccx> (msvc2008 not an option). So
the command I used was >qconfigure msvc2005. That's the only compiler
related issue I've had so far, so I thought I would mention it just in
case.
