[Paraview-developers] Git-master and Windows

[Reuter, Michael A.]

Turns out that the Superbuild kit I made for Windows also does not start up if python.org<http://python.org> Python is not available. :-( I did not realize it was on the system I did the original test on until now.

Building against the python.org<http://python.org><http://python.org> version makes ParaView startup fine. The weird thing is that now my originally broken build now works while still pointing at the Mantid python. I did not put the python.org<http://python.org><http://python.org> version into the system path so the libraries shouldn’t be getting confused. I’m now suspecting that this has something to do with the registry, but I have no idea what.

I got the CMakeCache.txt. Still not sure what could be the issue. Mind
just building it once with Python27 from python.org<http://python.org><http://python.org><http://python.org> direrctly, rather
than the one from within Mantid?

I am still confused, but mind attaching your CMakeCache.txt? Let's see
if that shows anything. These issues are when simply building ParaView
4.2. (not Superbuild) with Python, Qt libraries already on the
machine, is that correct?

I finally got ParaView (now using version 4.2.0) to give me a clue as to why startup was failing. I see:

ImportError: No module named site
[8854 refs]

However, in the same shell window (environment) I tried to launch ParaView, I can launch python and do import site with no issues. It feels like a path is getting mangled or dropped somewhere inside ParaView’s startup, but I wouldn’t know where to begin looking. Any pointers?

Thanks,

I am out of ideas at this point. Any Windows gurus out there?

The PYTHON27.DLL is coming from the expected location. That’s the only system Python library being reported by dependency walker.

The IESHIM thing can be ignored. It often shows up missing. Are the
right Python dlls being loaded? Is it accidentally picking them up
from some other path?

Ignore the red function points thing. Had other PV libs in the path. Cleaned that up, but the dependency thing still stands. The executable can find all the necessary libraries except IESHIMS.DLL.

Since you said you build with your own installation of Python, is
Python in PATH? Try using the dependency walker[1] to see if it can
find all the dependencies correctly.

Hi,

I’m having a very strange issue with trying to use a git-master version of ParaView on Windows using ninja/VS2012. I can get the build to complete just fine, but running the paraview.exe does nothing. It thinks for a bit and then exits without any hit of an error. A debug build does the same thing. I can’t attach any debugging process since subsequent attempts at execution exit much faster. I think the issue has to do with Python because I’ve made a build using PARAVIEW_ENABLE_PYTHON=OFF and paraview.exe works fine in that case. I’ve been left scratching my head, so I’m willing to entertain any and all ideas about what further things I can look at to determine the problem.

Thanks,
M
