- some systems (eg, opensuse) use that since it has both qt4 and qt5
installed. ParaView now needs qt5 (preferrably 5.9).
STYLE: update version information for ParaView and Qt
- potential symbol conflicts and build errors if building from the git
version since it uses the last major number (eg, 5.4) but may have a
layout similar to the next release (eg, 5.5) and thus different
sizes for classes etc.
- only export the WM_* settings to their plain counterparts
(eg, export CC=$WM_CC)
when they actually point to an accessible program
This helps in particular when bootstrapping builds with third-party
compilers.
ENH: add support of additional configure options to some make scripts
- remove hard-coded --verbs from makeOPENMPI in favour of letting the
user provide it via the command-line for makeOPENMPI.
eg, makeOPENMPI openmpi-1.10.6 -- --with-verbs=DIRECTORY ...
- only addresses -mesa-prefix behaviour.
The -mesa-lib option makes no assumptions at all.
STYLE: update versions in makeParaView.example, makeVTK.example
- similar functionality in etc/tools/ThirdPartyFunctions to improve
the independence of ThirdParty while reducing clutter in the callers.
- add useGcc function for convenience
- mask seeing our own git-repo when building
STYLE: various items
- eliminate old user-editable configuration in files - now command-line only.
- use *_BUILD_DIR instead of *_BINARY_DIR for more clarity of the purpose
- drop use of '-q' option for wmakeCheckPwd (already has stderr redirect)
- drop checkVersion for makeParaView since it stopped working properly
with newer paraview version
CONFIG: update list of versions
- this creates a cmake-system link to the given cmake version, which
is a simple means of providing an updated cmake version for the
OpenFOAM build without actually needing to edit the
etc/config.sh/paraview file
- OpenFOAM doesn't use any of the CGAL image library and the ImageIO
library adds in an unnecessary OpenGL dependency (reported to fail
on kubuntu-14.04)
STYLE: adjust documented link to main (non-svn) VisIt project directory
