[Paraview-developers] Building Examples -

[Chiranjib Sur]

Hi Ancel,
Thanks for your reply.
I followed your steps. I can get Examples/All after the first set of
build but to run "make" at that directory,

I need to have a "Makefile" there, which doesn't exist for this case.
My build/Examples/All contain the file "CMakeCache.txt" and the folder
 "CMakeFiles"

Threfore, in a nutshell, I am back to square one with no example
libraries built.

Any more pointers ?
Thanks again for your suggestions.
