Hello, I'm trying to build the paraview sources. I downloaded the 5.4.0 sources, and I'm using Fedora 25 Workstation.
I've read through the README.md that's in the root directory, and that leads me to Documentation/dev/build.md. Going through these steps: 1) I've verified cmake is on my system and in the PATH. 2) I've verified qt is installed, and is version 4.8.7 3) Compiler and Build tool: Here's where issues begin. Since I'm using Fedora/yum, the packages don't directly translate. I've verified or installed the following packages from the list: cmake git python-dev freeglut3-dev autoconf libtool bison flex ninja-build But I can't seem to find these: mesa-common-dev mesa-utils libhdf5-serial-dev (I did notice that some mesa packages were installed when freeglut was) I continued on to see how much farther I could get, and the next step immediately stumped me: sudo python get-pip.py That returns a "no get-pip.py found" error. I've verified no get- pip.py file is in the ParaView sources (or anywhere else on the system), so I'm missing something here. I still continued on, and ran into another issue. The "Run CMake" step references a src and build directory. I understand that it is talking about the previous step using git to "Retrieve the source", but I downloaded them as a single .tar.gz file from the website instead. Looking at the git sources, they appear to be the same files and structure as what is in the .tar.gz, so I just put the extracted contents of the archive into a "src" dir, and create a "build" dir at the same level. I then execute: ccmake ../src CMake does come up, but instead of seeing the 3 variables shown in the README, I see just "EMPTY CACHE". Any additional help or guidance would be appreciated. Thank you.
