[Paraview-developers] [paraview-developers] A kind of building errors of paraview development version under Visual Studio 2010 on Windows 7 64bits

[David E DeMarle]

Turn off PARAVIEW_USE_MPI in CMake and recompile. If that doesn't work
(because of stale dependent build option settings) you will have to clear
out the build directory and recompile.

Alternatively you could install MPICH2 or OpenMPI for Windows and then
rebuild. When you turn on PARAVIEW_USE_MPI the first time, CMake should
find MPI in your path and and determine what the correct settings for
MPI_INLCUDE, MPI_LIBRARY and MPI_EXTRA_LIBRARY accordingly. The VTK and
ParaView dashboards have a few examples, but it appears the Kitware hosted
machines (see http://www.cdash.org/CDash/viewNotes.php?buildid=1886001 for
example) all use Microsoft's MPI.
