[Paraview-developers] ParaView build issue

[David Thompson]

Hi Alan,

Random sampling is good for many things, but not debugging. :-)

The errors are from the switch to how repository-external data (test input data and baseline images) is maintained. You should be able to prevent the download attempts by putting all the files from

	http://vtk.org/files/ExternalData/MD5

into the ExternalData directory inside your VTK build directory (or a build-tree-external local store). See

	http://www.vtk.org/Wiki/VTK/Git/Develop/Data#Local_Store

for more information.
