[Paraview-developers] Paraview and VS2013 compile errors

Thu Sep 4 16:13:18 EDT 2014

Hi,

Thanks for clearification (could not find details about that stuff). Since we have our own build system I need to migrate Paraview and VTK  to it, so I am afraid that I cannot use the superbuild, I need to link to our own compiled python/qt/boost...Since I/my small group are the only ones which use vtk I could also use the internal VTK of PV  but it would be really great if paraview would get working with qt5 (since our internal's are not compatible with qt4 anymore and I/we work on an extremely old qt4 branch). 

Is there any timeline to support qt5 or the external VTK? Is PV generally not supporting VS2013 or only superbuild (which wouldn't be a problem)? The problem is that we cannot work with VS2008 any more since many other toolkits (especially PCL) use C++11 features (and our company IT only has VS2008 and 2013). 

Oh sometimes live is really hard....

Best regards,
Gerald

Gerald,

You should brace yourself :):
+ Qt 5 support in ParaView currently is experimental. We still aren't
officially supporting it.
+ VS2013 suppport for Superbuilds is experimental too. Should work,
but not if you're using internal Python yet.
+ External VTK is definitely not supported yet, I am afraid.

And I am also migrating from VS 2008 to 2013 at the same time, so many things to do. I also found out that I need to build qt with the no-angle and opengl switch to get the vtk opengl stuff working...., omg, everything back to beginning....
