[Paraview-developers] [EXTERNAL] ParaView build issue

[Scott, W Alan]

Thanks David - with some help from Dave K, I was able to get through the firewall, get the files, and do a good build.

Hi Alan,

> Seeing that there are somewhere around 1700 files, mind creating and sending me a tarball?

I will if you like, but it won't stay up to date.

  curl -o index.html http://vtk.org/files/ExternalData/MD5/
  grep 'td><a href="[A-Za-z0-9]' index.html | sed -e 's_.*a href="\([^"]*\)".*_\1_g' > files
  for f in `cat files`; do
    curl -# -O http://vtk.org/files/ExternalData/MD5/$f
  done

The above is a hack and will always download every file. Probably best to use CMake to download and refresh.

	David
