[Paraview-developers] frustrating CMake problem when building ParaView plugin

[Utkarsh Ayachit]

I could go in more detail, but the the cmake macros that ParaView
includes to build plugins assumes that the .h files are right next to
the .cxx files. Consequently, they are not being wrapped and hence the
error. You can have any directory structure so long as the .h files
and .cxx files are next to each other. This is not CMake requirement,
but the way the macros in ParaView are written. We could extend them
if that's a common use-case.
