[Paraview] Procedure for compiling Catalyst

Mon Jul 25 13:50:17 EDT 2016

Hi - I build the ParaView package with Catalyst turned on (but the ParaView
GUI turned off). My cmake command is (sorry for the poor formatting, some
of these options may not be useful for you)...

cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE:STRING=Release
-DCMAKE_SKIP_INSTALL_RPATH:BOOL=YES -DBUILD_TESTING:BOOL=OFF
-DPARAVIEW_BUILD_QT_GUI:BOOL=OFF -DVTK_RENDERING_BACKEND=OpenGL2
-DPARAVIEW_USE_MPI:BOOL=ON -DPARAVIEW_ENABLE_PYTHON:BOOL=ON
-DPARAVIEW_INSTALL_DEVELOPMENT_FILES:BOOL=ON
-DPARAVIEW_BUILD_CATALYST_ADAPTERS:BOOL=ON
-DPARAVIEW_BUILD_PLUGIN_AnalyzeNIfTIIO:BOOL=FALSE
-DPARAVIEW_BUILD_PLUGIN_ArrowGlyph:BOOL=FALSE
-DPARAVIEW_BUILD_PLUGIN_CDIReader:BOOL=FALSE
-DPARAVIEW_BUILD_PLUGIN_EyeDomeLighting:BOOL=FALSE
-DPARAVIEW_BUILD_PLUGIN_GMVReader:BOOL=FALSE
-DPARAVIEW_BUILD_PLUGIN_GeodesicMeasurement:BOOL=FALSE

-DPARAVIEW_BUILD_PLUGIN_InSituExodus:BOOL=FALSE
-DPARAVIEW_BUILD_PLUGIN_MantaView:BOOL=FALSE
-DPARAVIEW_BUILD_PLUGIN_Moments:BOOL=FALSE
-DPARAVIEW_BUILD_PLUGIN_NonOrthogonalSource:BOOL=FALSE
-DPARAVIEW_BUILD_PLUGIN_PacMan:BOOL=FALSE
-DPARAVIEW_BUILD_PLUGIN_PointSprite:BOOL=FALSE
-DPARAVIEW_BUILD_PLUGIN_RGBZView:BOOL=FALSE
-DPARAVIEW_BUILD_PLUGIN_SLACTools:BOOL=FALSE
-DPARAVIEW_BUILD_PLUGIN_SciberQuestToolKit:BOOL=FALSE
-DPARAVIEW_BUILD_PLUGIN_SierraPlotTools:BOOL=FALSE
-DPARAVIEW_BUILD_PLUGIN_StreamingParticles:BOOL=FALSE
-DPARAVIEW_BUILD_PLUGIN_SurfaceLIC:BOOL=FALSE
-DPARAVIEW_BUILD_PLUGIN_ThickenLayeredCells:BOOL=FALSE
-DPARAVIEW_BUILD_PLUGIN_UncertaintyRendering:BOOL=FALSE
-DPARAVIEW_BUILD_PLUGIN_AcceleratedAlgorithms:BOOL=OFF
-DVTK_USE_CXX11_FEATURES:BOOL=ON -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/somewhere
/path/to/paraview/git/source

This will build ParaView, VTK, and Catalyst and install header files
so you can build your code with it. -- Adam
