Greetings,
Not wanting to hijack the thread "Linker error with OpenMPI 1.6.2",
here's a more descriptive email.
I forgot to write an email on this the other day, but at the project
http://code.google.com/p/unofficial-paraview-dev-install/ , a batch of
development builds of ParaView 3.98.0 for Windows has been released,
along with some notes on some of the changes made and how to reproduce
these builds:
http://code.google.com/p/unofficial-paraview-dev-install/wiki/Notes3980
The objective of the project is to attempt to bring back the development
builds that ParaView 3.8 had.
Since I used MSVC 2008 Express (with some minor changes for building for
x64 as well), I wasn't as successful as the automated dashboard system.
Therefore, here is a summary of the mods for making things work:
* The hacks on Open-MPI were because I only used MSVC 2008 Express and
because I don't have a FORTRAN compiler...
Reason: CMake configuration part on Open-MPI's side always stopped
with something about a missing "mspdb" DLL...
* Open-MPI was defaulting to building in debug mode...
* I didn't use ninja, because it isn't strictly necessary, but there
was a minor glitch on Windows when ninja isn't used.
Other hacks:
* Upgrading SILO on MSVC Express has to be done manually, so I added
an option to interactively upgrade the project.
* Added options for independent installations of: ParaView's
development files; OpenMPI; full development installation, which is
a snapshot of the "install" folder used by the SuperBuild.
* Added an option for building with Java wrapping, which wasn't very
successful. The diagnosis this far was that VTK 6.0.0 that ParaView
3.98.0 is still under development on this part.
The list of actual changes is browseable here:
http://code.google.com/p/unofficial-paraview-dev-install/source/list?repo=superbuild3980&name=unofficial
But keep in mind that it hasn't got a very clean history, because of
some iterations on trying to fix some things and to add features.
Best regards,
Bruno
