I'm trying to implement this Paraview plugin for Unity. I've spent the whole day just trying to get through the dev setup steps listed on that page. I've never used cmake before, have only taken a few comp sci classes, and have limited experience using the command prompt. I'm hoping that someone can help me get through these instructions on my windows 10 machine.
So far on step 1 I've changed the first command from
./configure.exe -prefix "C:\Qt\4.8.5" -debug-and-release -nomake examples -nomake tests -nomake demos -opensource -confirm-license
to
C:\Qt\4.8.5\configure.exe -debug-and-release -nomake examples -nomake tests -nomake demos -opensource -confirm-license
Subbing the first command because I was getting an error that '.' is not a valid command and removing the -platform option because I couldn't find a valid platform that the command accepted. When I entered 'nmake' I got the following errors:
c:\qt\4.8.5\src\corelib\codecs\qisciicodec_p.h(56): fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'QtCore/qtextcodec.h': No such file or directory qlatincodec.cpp

Note that I did add C:\Qt\4.8.5\bin into the PATH environment variable like he recommended. Since this step was optional, I moved on to step 2 to see if I could get through that.
I ran mkdir build and cd build inside of C:\Program Files\ParaView 5.5.1-Qt5-Windows-64bit and then ran
C:\Program Files\ParaView 5.5.1-Qt5-Windows-64bit\build>cmake -G "Visual Studio 15 2017" -DQT_QMAKE_EXECUTABLE="C:\Qt\4.8.5\bin\qmake.exe" ..
Changing the original command which had "Visual Studio 12 2013"
I got the error
CMake Error: The source directory "C:/Program Files/ParaView 5.5.1-Qt5-Windows-64bit" does not appear to contain CMakeLists.txt.
Searched around online, found nothing I could understand on how to fix this error, and fixed it by making a copy of "CMakeLists.txt" in the ParaView 5.5.1-Qt5-Windows-64bit directory. Ran it again and got the errors
CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:56 (include): include could not find load file:

Which is where I now stand. Any help on any of these issues would be greatly appreciated.
