[Paraview-developers] Home make plugin

[Chiranjib Sur]

Hi Utkarsh,
I am also trying to create my own plugin to be used with a downloadable
ParaView. I follow the same superbuild approach (nice help page here :
https://wiki.ucar.edu/display/LTR/ParaView+Plugin+Development).
However, I have few difficulties to get this sorted out. Here is what
happens :

1. I download the superbuild code using : git clone git://
paraview.org/ParaViewSuperbuild.git
2. Now I run cmake (ccmake pointing to the source) to generate the
makefile.
3. Once the "Makefile" is generated, when I run $make (or $make all)
nothing happens.

Am I missing something here?

Thanks,
Chiranjib
