Okay. You should figure this part out sooner rather than later.

ParaView Superbuild doesn't have "blas". You'll need to extend the
superbuild to teach it how to build & package that as well.

Yes, you can create a merge-request on the ParaVIew supbuild gitlab[1]
. We can do builds on all platforms from a MR that you can then use to
track down any build issues that may be introduced as a result of the
changes.
