[Paraview-developers] ParaView 3.12 RC2 re-build issues

[Venkatram Vishwanath]

Hi,

I am having a few issues with rebuilding Paraview. Perhaps, it is a more generic ParaView build issue, and I may not be doing the right thing. It would great if someone can shed some light.

Here is what I am doing:

1: I made a few changed to a source file in the following folder VTK/Utilities/ . Right now, I just added trivial performance timing information to a source file

2: To build, I do a make in the VTK directory.
	2a: The above fails in "Parallel". I then need to manually go to VTK/Parallel and do make.
	2b: Repeat 2.  Now fails in "Parallel". I then need to manually go to VTK/Parallel, and do make.
	2c: Repeat 2.  Now fails in "Hybrid". I then need to manually go to VTK/Hybrid, and do make.
	2d: Repeat 2.  Now fails in "Widgets". I then need to manually go to VTK/Widgets, and do make.
	2e: Repeat 2.  Now fails in "InfoVis". I then need to manually go to VTK/InfoVis, and do make.
	2f: Repeat 2.  Now fails in "Views". I then need to manually go to VTK/Views, and do make.
	2g: Repeat 2.  Now fails in "GeoVis". I then need to manually go to VTK/GeoVis, and do make
	2h: Repeat 2.  Now fails in "Charts". I then need to manually go to VTK/Charts, and do make

3:  Do a make in the root folder

All the above steps take around 60 minutes on a commodity linux machine!!

Is there a way to speed this up wherein we can inform that certain modules need not be rebuilt again? As we plan to make some significant edits to some source files, any help to speed this would be extremely valuable.

Moreover, If I use multiple jobs (i.e. make -j 2(etc.), this fails. Does Paraview's build handle this?

Thanks in advance.
