[Paraview-developers] mavericks -- duplicate symbol

[moeinvaz]

Hi,


It's my first time trying to develop on osx (mavericks).
I'm trying to compile paraview, but it gives me many
errors of 'duplicate symbol ...' when it gets to vtktiff.dir.

Doing a little bit of googling, I see some notes that this
is because of a change in mavericks replacing "static __inline__"
with "__header_always_inline". But, I haven't found the fix yet.

Some other notes suggest to install gcc through macports, which
I tried and installed 4.8. But, the same errors with "make
CC=gcc-mp-4.8".

I tried to compile VTK from source, but the same kind of errors.
In this regard, some notes suggest that it will be fixed on 6.1.0.
I can install VTK 5.10 through macports successfully though. There
is no 6.1 available on macports at this time.

However if I install paraview binaries, it seems to work fine
on mavericks. So, my question is: what is the trick to compile
paraview from source on mavericks?

Thank you for any pointers,
-AM
