For anyone interested in packaging VisIt [ raise your hands, one at a time, please! ;-) ]
I gave a look at <http://www.llnl.gov/visit/source.html> and and at <http://www.llnl.gov/visit/1.6.1/BUILD_NOTES> It seems to me that VisIt has the following mandatory build-dependencies: * Mesa 5.0 http://packages.debian.org/libgl1-mesa-dev * Mesa 6.4.2 http://packages.debian.org/libgl1-mesa-dev * Python 2.5 http://packages.debian.org/python * Qt X11 3.3.2 http://packages.debian.org/libqt4-dev * Qt X11 3.3.8 http://packages.debian.org/libqt4-dev * Silo060605 not in Debian? * VTK 5.0.0c http://packages.debian.org/libvtk5-dev Moreover, it seems to have some optional build-dependencies (libraries that may be linked or else left out, IIUC): * Boxlib 2.5 not in Debian? * CFITSIO 3006 http://packages.debian.org/libcfitsio3-dev * CGNS 2.4-3 not in Debian? * ExodusII 4.46 not in Debian? * GDAL 1.3.2 http://packages.debian.org/libgdal1-dev * H5Part 1.3.3 not in Debian? * HDF4 2.4.1 http://packages.debian.org/libhdf4g-dev * HDF5 1.6.5 http://packages.debian.org/libhdf5-{serial|lam|mpich}-dev * NetCDF 3.6.0 http://packages.debian.org/netcdfg-dev I thought I should share these findings... -- http://frx.netsons.org/doc/nanodocs/testing_workstation_install.html Need to read a Debian testing installation walk-through? .....................................................
