Welcome to the ParaView community.

Which version of ParaView are you trying to build ?  
How did you recover the sources ?  
Which version of windows are you using ?  
Which version of CMake are you using ?  
Which generator are you using ?

This was fixed in VTK recently. I’ll add it to the pile for 5.7.1. [https://gitlab.kitware.com/vtk/vtk/merge\_requests/6060](https://gitlab.kitware.com/vtk/vtk/merge_requests/6060)
