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

[Chiranjib Sur]

Hi Utkarsh,
Thanks for the suggestions.
My goal is to build my .so and use it with any binaries downloaded from
paraview.org. What is the best way to generate my own .so plugin which can
be used with any paraview distribution (either locally build or binary
downloaded from praview.org)?

Thanks,
Chiranjib
