I found it: Qt needs to be enabled! ENABLE_qt4 results in the error below, with USE_SYSTEM_qt4 (installed with brew) it works!
While I understand that there is no gui without qt and that it makes sense to build paraview without gui, I suggest to make it a little clearer: The help for ENABLE_qt* is just „Request to build project qt*“. Maybe an „Qt is necessary for the gui“ could be added. Also the error message from make install could be enriched with a check for Qt and a message. /Users/fwein/code/ParaViewSuperbuild/build/qt4/src/qt4/src/gui/painting/qpaintengine_mac.cpp:345:19: error: use of undeclared identifier 'CMGetProfileByAVID' CMError err = CMGetProfileByAVID((CMDisplayIDType)displayID, &displayProfile); ^ /Users/fwein/code/ParaViewSuperbuild/build/qt4/src/qt4/src/gui/painting/qpaintengine_mac.cpp:348:9: error: use of undeclared identifier 'CMCloseProfile' CMCloseProfile(displayProfile); ^ In file included from /Users/fwein/code/ParaViewSuperbuild/build/qt4/src/qt4/src/gui/painting/qpaintengine_mac.cpp:44: In file included from ../../include/QtGui/private/qpaintengine_mac_p.h:1: ../../include/QtGui/private/../../../../qt4/src/gui/painting/qpaintengine_mac_p.h:252:9: warning: private field 'mBytesPerLine' is not used [-Wunused-private-field] int mBytesPerLine; ^ 3 warnings and 2 errors generated. make[5]: *** [.obj/release-shared/qpaintengine_mac.o] Error 1 make[4]: *** [release-install] Error 2 make[3]: *** [sub-gui-install_subtargets-ordered] Error 2 CMake Error at /Users/fwein/code/ParaViewSuperbuild/build/pv-qt4-build.cmake:33 (message): Failed with exit code 2 > Am 18.01.2016 um 10:25 schrieb Fabian Wein <fabian.w...@fau.de>: > > I have the latest OS X and qt4 and qt5 installed by brew. > > I use the current superbuild, which covers PV 4.4 (why not 5.0?) but build > fails. > > I use the default setting in my build and just set > CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX and ENABLE_paraview > > make > … > [100%] Built target paraview > > make install > …. > [100%] Built target paraview > Install the project... > -- Install configuration: "" > CMake Error at cmake_install.cmake:39 (file): > file INSTALL cannot find > > "/Users/fwein/code/ParaViewSuperbuild/build/install/Applications/paraview.app". > make: *** [install] Error 1 > > Any suggestion or hint where to look in the log files is appreciated. _______________________________________________ Powered by www.kitware.com Visit other Kitware open-source projects at http://www.kitware.com/opensource/opensource.html Please keep messages on-topic and check the ParaView Wiki at: http://paraview.org/Wiki/ParaView Search the list archives at: http://markmail.org/search/?q=ParaView Follow this link to subscribe/unsubscribe: http://public.kitware.com/mailman/listinfo/paraview
