[Paraview-developers] Building Examples -

[Alexandre Ancel]

Hello Chiranjib,

First I am not a Paraview developer, just a simple user that also uses a
self-compiled version of ParaView.

Regarding to your problem, I tested building the examples by adding the
-DBUILD_EXAMPLES:BOOL=ON to my locally built ParaView.

I think that Step 3 in your build process is wrong. You do not have to
reexecute the cmake command in the Examples/All subdirectory. The examples
are built as a subproject, so all you need to do normally is to enable them
in cmake and then go to the Examples/All directory and type make. That did
the trick for me and I was able to build the examples provided with
Paraview (being generated in the bin and lib directories of the base build
dir).

Hope it helps in your developments,

Best regards,

Alexandre Ancel
