[Paraview] Understanding the source code
Hi all, Is the book geared to understand how to use paraview or understanding the code. I am a imaging research developer but looking at the 2.6 million lines of code in 8820 files in the Visual Studio project that contains the cvs paraview is not an easy task especially when there are deadlines.. -- John M.

Thank you. Very much!
I had no VTK/Utilities/utf8 folder at all.
I just updated and it grabbed that folder.
I will try to figure out why cvs did not sync everything.

That was it. I forgot that because I mostly use cvs through a GUI and this time I did just a cvs up from a command window. I have been doing a lot of git pull from linux lately so I forgot the cvs options are needed to get new folders..

In my projects I have a CMakeLists.txt file for every subdirectory in the source code. You do not have to do this that way its a matter of preference and in my opinion makes the build system more manageable.

To build Qt you open up a command for your compiler (Visual Studio 2008 x64 Win64 Command prompt ...) and execute configure in the source folder. I now use the following options on vs2008 configure -debug-and-release -no-webkit -opensource -fast -no-incredibuild-xge -mp -no-dbus -platform win32-msvc2008 then after the configure stage nmake will build Qt John ___ 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 Follow this link to subscribe/unsubscribe: http://www.paraview.org/mailman/listinfo/paraview

In the retail versions of VS2005 and greater there are Visual Studio x64 (and 32 bit ones also) command prompts in the tools menu for each compiler. Opening up the x64 command prompt sets a few environment variables that set cc and nmake to build 64 bit applications. > Then I tried to configure using the option -platform win64-msvc2010 but > configure refuses to run.

I can tell you that the everywhere-opensource-4.6.X and everywhere-opensource-4.7.X downloads work with visual studio since I use them daily with VS2005 x32, VS2008 x32 and x64 and vs2010 x64 with my two large projects (on a handful of machines) that use Qt, cmake, vtk ... You can also download a binary version and recompile for a different compiler but I have not done that in a few releases. My advice is make sure that you are using the expected Qt version when running paraview. If you have any other qt dlls on you system zip them up. Also do not mix debug and release or compiler versions. Remember that with Visual Studio you can not safely mix compiler versions and you also can not safely mix debug and release in the same application. John -- John M.
