[Paraview-developers] Cannot compile PV plugin by adding non-vtk classes in server manager sources

[Burlen Loring]

I think you should be able to use the CXX_SOURCES argument. for eg

ADD_PARAVIEW_PLUGIN(
myVTKfilterPlugin
     "1.0"
     DOCUMENTATION_DIR       SomePath/doc
     SERVER_MANAGER_XML      SomePath/myVTKfilter.xml
     GUI_RESOURCE_FILES      SomePath/myVTKfilterGUI.xml
     SERVER_MANAGER_SOURCES  SomePath/myVTKfilter.cxx
     CXX_SOURCES             SomePath/Class1.cxx SomePath/Class2.cxx
     )
