Hi Chris, I believe that you can link against ParaView from a standard Makefile by using the `paraview-config` executable that gets built when building ParaView. An example of how to do this is something like this:
ifeq "$(USE_PARAVIEW)" "true" PARAVIEW_CONFIG = $(PARAVIEW)/bin/paraview-config LIBS += $(shell $(PARAVIEW_CONFIG) --libs --python vtkPVPythonCatalyst vtkPVServerManagerRendering vtkUtilitiesPythonInitializer) -lparaview -Lparaview_catalyst/Adaptor-build -lMPASAdaptor endif I should mention, it is much easier to use CMake ;) Sincerely, T.J.
