Hmm, it does not say to run any executables. I really don’t understand what it’s asking me for so I don’t know what to just stick in the variables.
<div>Here is an example from that file: <br>
<div><br>
<div>
<div># CMAKE_REQUIRE_LARGE_FILE_SUPPORT</div>
<div># indicates whether the executable would have been able to run on its</div>
<div># target platform. If so, set CMAKE_REQUIRE_LARGE_FILE_SUPPORT to</div>
<div># the exit code (in many cases 0 for success), otherwise enter "FAILED_TO_RUN".</div>
<div># CMAKE_REQUIRE_LARGE_FILE_SUPPORT__TRYRUN_OUTPUT</div>
<div># contains the text the executable would have printed on stdout and stderr.</div>
<div># If the executable would not have been able to run, set CMAKE_REQUIRE_LARGE_FILE_SUPPORT__TRYRUN_OUTPUT empty.</div>
<div># Otherwise check if the output is evaluated by the calling CMake code. If so,</div>
<div># check what the source file would have printed when called with the given arguments.</div>
<div># The HAVE_CMAKE_REQUIRE_LARGE_FILE_SUPPORT variable holds the build result for this TRY_RUN().</div>
<div># </div>
<div># Source file : /collab/usr/global/tools/Kitware/Catalyst/bgqos_0/catalyst_backend_crossbuild/CMakeFiles/CMakeTmp/src.cxx</div>
<div># Executable : /collab/usr/global/tools/Kitware/Catalyst/bgqos_0/catalyst_backend_crossbuild/CMakeFiles/cmTryCompileExec2363604927-CMAKE_REQUIRE_LARGE_FILE_SUPPORT</div>
<div># Run arguments : </div>
<div># Called from: [1]<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>
/collab/usr/global/tools/Kitware/Catalyst/bgqos_0/base/VTK/CMakeLists.txt</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>set( CMAKE_REQUIRE_LARGE_FILE_SUPPORT </div>
<div> "PLEASE_FILL_OUT-FAILED_TO_RUN"</div>

<div dir="ltr">These come from the way our build scripts ask cmake to runs _more_ helper executables at build time in order to introspect the machine that the code is going to run on (is it big or little endian, how big is a double on this CPU?, does the MPI
there support feature X and stuff like that).
<div><br>
</div>
<div>In a host only build these aren't a problem, just build, run and take the output of the helper and continue.
<div><br>
</div>
<div>In a cross compile build it isn't so easy. The answers on the host and compute may be different (ex on a BGL or P), worse cmake can build it, but it does't know anything about how to submit a job to run the executable and then get results back from it.</div>
<div><br>

<div><br>
</div>
<div>It says things to the effect of:</div>
<div>run this executable on the compute node, and paste its output back into this variable. You can do that, or copy someone else's answers for the test on a BGQ (see the PVSB/cmake/crosscompile/bgq_gnu/*TryRunResults.cmake), or fill in the details from what
you know about the compute node architecture.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>However you do it, once you fill in that form just make again in the build tree, cmake will see that you've given it the details it needs, and finish.</div>

that make the originals callable from python. All of those c++ files are later compiled for the target environment.

<div>In cross compilation the helper executables have to be compiled to run in the host environment.</div>
<div>The source code that the helpers produce has to be compiled to run in the compute environment.</div>

<div>So build paraview (or better yet just the CompileTools target to save time) once for the host.</div>
<div>Then in a different directory build paraview again, using the toolchain you are now using to tell it what compilers and libraries to use for the compute nodes, and in this build tell cmake where the host tools can be found.</div>
