[Paraview-developers] Issues building paraview with MPI : unresolved externals

[Hillier, Michael (NRCan/RNCan)]

I got this to work using your suggestion.

For anyone else who has this issue I will give the following information that will potentially help others who want to build Paraview with MPI support:

I used Jayesh Krishna’s MPICH binary (v 1.4.1p1 64 bit).
Built Paraview 4.4.0 64 bit using Visual Studio 2010 Professional.

I have not that version of OpenMPI on windows. I have had good success recently with the unofficial MPICH binary from Jayesh Krishna's (an oldie but a goodie as they say). This was on a Win7 64 system where we linked to it from Visual Studio 2013 62bit desktop express edition.

Hello,

I am trying to building paraview 4.4 with MPI support using Visual Studio. The libraries of MPI I am using is OpenMPI v1.6.2 x64. In cmake I link all the possible mpi libraries that have in my lib folder for OpenMPI except for the fortran libs. When I build paraview in visual studio (2010 professional) all my errors are unresolved external symbols (. E.g.  LNK2001: unresolved external symbol ompi_mpi_double). I was hoping that someone with some experience with including MPI support into paraview could help me resolve this issue. Are their additional libraries I am missing or do I need to set compilation or linking flags?

Any help is greatly appreciated ☺
