Hi,
I am trying to build paraview master branch on a 2018 MBP. I got a build error as:
```auto

```
The solution is pretty simple - just create a `doc` folder in paraview/src/Plugins/StreamLinesRepresentation/.
It happens with xcode 9.4.1 + High Sierra + Qt 5.9.1/Qt 5.11.1.
Is this a Qt version problem or paraview needs a patch?
Thanks!

Are you sure that you are using the right QHelpGenerator binary ?

Yep. I use QtMaintainsTools to install Qt binarys on OSX.

I’m also using CMake 3.12. I would try a lower version of CMake build on my laptop.
Edited: CMake 3.11.4 also runs into this missing doc folder problem.

Should be fixed in master now.
