- Symmetrical with the usage for most other ThirdParty build
scripts. For example,
"makeParaView ParaView-5.0.1"
- As a convenience, also allow a number directly. For example,
"makeParaView 5.0.1"
This should be clearer than the old instruction and does not
rely on an alias:
"foamPV 5.0.1; ./makeParaView"
BUG: heuristics for activating GL2 rendering backend missed when
paraview version was specified from the command-line
OpenFOAM Third-Party packages
#
Description
Scripts for building third-party packages.
Build Order:
- makeGcc (recommended if the system gcc is < 4.7)
- Allwmake (Builds OpenMPI, Scotch etc.)
- makeCmake (if the system cmake version is < 2.8.8)
- makeParaView
Optional Build Components:
- makeLLVM (Replaces makeGcc in the above description
- to use clang as compiler)
- makeCCMIO (Only required for conversion of STAR-CCM+ meshes)
- Allclean (Only required to save disk space)
Versions and locations to download the third party packages
Gcc C++ Compiler
The minimum version of gcc required is 4.5.0
Parallel Processing
Scotch
ParaView
- cmake http://www.cmake.org/files/v3.5/cmake-3.5.2.tar.gz
- ParaView-4.4.0 http://www.paraview.org/files/v4.4/ParaView-v4.4.0-source.tar.gz
- ParaView-5.0.1 http://www.paraview.org/files/v5.0/ParaView-v5.0.1-source.tar.gz
but may need patching to compile (See Notes).

Notes
Building ParaView-4.3.1/4.4.0/5.0.0/5.0.1
The ParaView-4.3.1/4.4.0/5.0.0 source-pack provided by KitWare will not build and install correctly without a minor correction: lines 653-656 (650-653 in ParaView-5.0.0, 659-662 in ParaView-5.0.1) must be removed or commented from file ThirdParty-???/ParaView-[45].?.?/Qt/Components/CMakeLists.txt after unpacking and renaming the ParaView-[45].?.? directory. This is because the file ui_pqExportStateWizard.h referred to in
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.
Additionally for ParaView-4.4.0 there is a bug in the STL reader. (see http://www.openfoam.org/mantisbt/view.php?id=1887).
For ParaView-4.4.0 and ParaView-5.0.1, the necessary patches are supplied with the ThirdParty repository (see the etc/patches directory) and are applied when building paraview.
Building ParaView-5.0.1 with gcc-6.1.0
Add support for gcc-6.?.?
The following cmake files
- ParaView-5.0.1/VTK/CMake/vtkCompilerExtras.cmake
- ParaView-5.0.1/VTK/CMake/GenerateExportHeader.cmake
specifically limit the gcc versions supported. To add support gcc-6.?.? replace the '[345]' with '[3456]'.
This patch is also supplied with the ThirdParty repository and applied when building paraview.
SciberQuestToolKit
The SciberQuestToolKit plugin fails to compile with gcc-6.1.0 and causes the compilation of ParaView to halt. The easiest solution is to delete the ParaView-5.0.1/Plugins/SciberQuestToolKit directory.
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
