[Paraview-developers] how to build a re-distributable linux plugin (.so)

[Utkarsh Ayachit]

Try doing a "make install" with CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX set to some
temporary location. That should strip the paths on the plugin. Note,
however that you can only load this plugin on a build of ParaView
built similarly i.e. it won't work on the ParaView binaries downloaded
from paraview.org
