Notes
Buiding ParaView-4.3.1
The ParaView-4.3.1 source-pack provided by KitWare will not build and install correctly without a minor correction: lines 653-656 must be removed or commented from file ThirdParty-dev/ParaView-4.3.1/Qt/Components/CMakeLists.txt after unpacking and renaming the ParaView-4.3.1 directory. This is because the file ui_pqExportStateWizard.h referred to in the lines 653-656:
if(PARAVIEW_INSTALL_DEVELOPMENT_FILES)
install(FILES "${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/ui_pqExportStateWizard.h"
DESTINATION "${VTK_INSTALL_INCLUDE_DIR}")
endif()
does not exist and cannot be installed causing the build and installation to fail.
Building ParaView-4.1.0
On Ubuntu 14.10 and higher, OpenSuSE 13.2 and probably other recent GNU/Linux distributions there is an issue in the GL libraries requiring a change to the vtkXOpenGLRenderWindow.cxx file in ParaView: Uncomment line 30
#define GLX_GLXEXT_LEGACY
