OpenFOAM® ThirdParty System Requirements

For building some particular third-party libraries from source, the normal OpenFOAM System Requirements will be insufficient.

This is most notably the case for ParaView and/or QT compilation. As duly noted in BUILD and README and information, building ParaView from source tends to be the most difficult part of any third-party compilation.

For general functionality, the paraview version distributed with the operating system or a binary package may be sufficient for your needs.

Please help us with keeping the information here up-to-date and accurate.
