Unfortunately, development of paraview under windows has become
almost impossible due to the combination of cmake-2.8.x/VS2012
and whatever else which means that projects constantly rebuild
and my development time has gone from seconds/minutes to hours
for any turnaround. </blockquote>
Having been frustrated by the unacceptable time consumed by MSVC
building PV, I recently switched to ninja which can drive the MSVC
compiler. It makes PV build as fast on Windows as it is on Linux.

Open MPI has dropped support too. as far as I now the only one now
is MS MPI. It works fine but is still MPI 2.<br>

gcc + vim + gdb. Extremly reliable, works in parallel.
Unfortunately, probably not what you're after....<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">Since I’ll be developing ParaView (and
other applications), can others here tell me which
combinations of IDE and debugger they use. I’ve experimented
with Eclipse on linux and found it to be very nice IDE
(compared to using VI) , but debugging is not great and the
time to parse large projects like paraview for code completion
etc can be traumatizing. Parallel work using PTP is ok on some
of our machines, so I’ll be using it anyway …

<p class="MsoNormal">Can anyone offer any advice on what I
should try first. I have been accustomed to using the debugger
in VS for about 90% of my daily work and I regard it as first
class. I can attach to anything, debug and inspect - I don’t
quite know how I’m going to live without it. The ability to
jump quickly to declarations of variables, navigate around the
project and quickly locate stuff - this saves me so much time
- and I’m hoping the Mac offers something similar. Debugging
and code navigation are the priorities, with MPI debugging a
must-have.<o:p></o:p></p>
