[Paraview-developers] [Non-DoD Source] Re: Issues building paraview with MPI : unresolved externals

Thu Nov 5 10:40:53 EST 2015

We have been using openmpi 1.4.5 as that is the only version of OpenMPI that I am able to compile with VS2013 Express via cmake.

I was told, on windows, the dependency library needs to be compiled with the same compiler (like VS2013 express) that is used to compile ParaView. Is that not the case anymore? Or Jayesh Krishna's MPICH binray is compiled with VS2010 Pro?

thanks

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:)
