Re: [Paraview] Writer Plugin cannot be loaded
Well,
I tried everything, changing the cmake_install_prefix and so on, and lastly I
checked the CMakeLists.txt file which took care of the Plugin and there I
found a mistake.. a library name spelled incorrectly. I changed that and now I
get
linker errors which I do not know how to get rid of:
No rule to make target `/usr/local/unpackaged/libcommon.so', needed by
`bin/libVdcWriter.so'. Stop.
That libcommon.so is a library which is already build, but not by paraview, and
I want it to be linked to my code. Here
is the CMakeLists.txt:
INCLUDE(${ParaView_SOURCE_DIR}/CMake/ParaViewPlugins.cmake)
INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES(
${VTK_INCLUDE_DIR}
${PARAVIEW_INCLUDE_DIRS}
${VTKEXPAT_SOURCE_DIR}
)
FIND_PACKAGE(Qt4)
INCLUDE(${QT_USE_FILE})
FIND_PACKAGE(ParaView REQUIRED)
INCLUDE(${PARAVIEW_USE_FILE})
FIND_PACKAGE(VDC REQUIRED)
INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES(${VDC_INCLUDE_DIR})
FIND_PACKAGE(NETCDF REQUIRED)
INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES(${NETCDF_INCLUDE_DIR})
IF (PARAVIEW_BUILD_QT_GUI)
ADD_PARAVIEW_PLUGIN(VdcWriter 1.0
GUI_RESOURCE_FILES GUIVdcWriter.xml
SERVER_MANAGER_XML SMVdcWriter.xml
SERVER_MANAGER_SOURCES vtkVdcWriter.cxx
)
ELSE (PARAVIEW_BUILD_QT_GUI)
ADD_PARAVIEW_PLUGIN(VdcWriter 1.0
SERVER_MANAGER_XML SMVdcWriter.xml
SERVER_MANAGER_SOURCES vtkVdcWriter.cxx
)
ENDIF (PARAVIEW_BUILD_QT_GUI)
TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES(VdcWriter ${EXPAT_LIBRARY} ${NETCDF_LIBRARY}
${COMMON_LIBRARY} ${VDF_LIBRARY}
I believe that target_link_libraries command is not correct, but how can I link
all these libraries to my code?
thx

Hi!
I have written a Writer-Plugin and after (at last) successfully
compiling and linking it within Paraview, I tried to load it with the
PluginManager,
and in the Paraview/build/bin directory I found my libVdcWriter.so,
but loading fails. I get the error message: libVdcWriter.so: no such
file or directory
But the file is in the build/bin - directory, the

Does anyone know what could be the problem here? Is it possible that I
missed to link something, any library from paraview so that this
plugin can be loaded?
It sounds like the dynamic linker/loader , ld, isn't finding your
libVdcWriter.so library. first you can verify by running ldd on your
plugin and searching for not found. like this:
ldd /path/to/libMyPlugin.so | grep not found
This will list the libraries that are not found. There are a number of
ways to remedy such an issue. The easiest (especially for debugging
purposes) is to use LD_LIBRARY_PATH on the command line to add locations
to ld's search path. You know where the missing library is located then
you can run paraview like this:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/path/to/missing/lib/folder /path/to/paraview
or you can export this variable in your shell.
and by the way, a stupid question: linux .so - files are equivalent to
windows .dll-files, true? so while I´m loading my plugins as .dlls in
windows, with linux they have the ending .so, right?
thx a lot,

Re: [Paraview] Writer Plugin cannot be loaded
You can try the following:
SET(PARAVIEW_ADDITIONAL_LIBRARIES
${PARAVIEW_ADDITIONAL_LIBRARIES}
${vtkexpat} ${NETCDF_LIBRARY} ${COMMON_LIBRARY} ${VDF_LIBRARY})
BEFORE the line
IF (PARAVIEW_BUILD_QT_GUI)
Also ParaView provides its own expat library which you may be able to
use instead of your own or a system one. vtkexpat
Hope that helps
