Paraview:5.10.0: catalyst building issue

    • Open Issue created by Pawan Ghildiyal @Pawan

    Hi ,
    I am using latest release paraview as updated in sourceforge 5.10.0 release.
    Build paraview successfully using mesa-llvm and it compiled well.
    runTimepostprocessing : compiles well and work well. However catalyst
    fail to compile with following error. (Note this issue is not there with Paraview-5.10.RC2)

          I am having the same issue across multiple systems (all graphic-less). There seems to be some incompatible requirements here?

          VTK requires the IOFFMPEG component, but if you build paraview with FFMPEG, you then get additional issues:

            ParaView is configured without I/O support (via the CATALYST_RENDERING
  edition) which is incompatible with the request for FFmpeg support (via the
  `PARAVIEW_ENABLE_FFMPEG` configure option)

          Pawan, were you able to successfully build with 5.10.RC2?

          Need additional ffmpeg devel header and the following when building paraview:

              -DPARAVIEW_ENABLE_FFMPEG=ON \
    -DVTK_PYTHON_OPTIONAL_LINK=OFF \

          The first one makes obvious sense. The second one is a bit odd, but needed to avoid undefined symbol: PyExc_ValueError

          @kuti - yet more stuff for your notes.

          That second flag is something I would have never, ever found myself. I'm able to build paraview and catalyst now, thanks!

          However, runTimePostProcessing fails to build, despite running ./makeVtk with the -mpi flag.

          Looking at the log, it seems ./makeVtk has used the correct MPI flag (-DVTK_Group_MPI=ON)

          Is there a magic flag I am missing, similar to the "VTK_PYTHON_OPTIONAL_LINK=OFF"?

          @mark It turns out the VTK_Group_MPI=ON flag is actually not the correct flag. ./makeVTK -mpi needs to set VTK_USE_MPI=ON

          For some reason I cannot fork, but I've attached a fix to this file: https://develop.openfoam.com/Development/ThirdParty-common/-/blob/main/etc/tools/vtkFunctions
