[Paraview-developers] Building Examples -

[Alexandre Ancel]

Hello Chiranjib,

The CMakeCache.txt is a remaining file from your previous cmake comamnd you
issued in Examples/All.
I think the best to do is to delete the Examples directory to clean up what
you previously did, then make sure you activated the examples
(-DBUILD_EXAMPLE:BOOL=ON) in the base build dir, then relaunch the make
command. It should recreate the examples dir, and eventually you can run
the make command in the Examples/All directory.

Best regards,
Alexandre
