[Paraview-developers] Changing ParaView default CMake variable values

[Schlottke-Lakemper, Michael]

Hi Utkarsh,

Especially with the first change (rendering backend upgraded to OpenGL2) I suspect that some users might have builds fail because of missing dependencies on older systems (at least I expect it for some of our systems). Is there somewhere a list of library prerequisites that will change with this switch? I only know of http://www.paraview.org/Wiki/ParaView:Build_And_Install and there no OpenGL dependencies are listed explicitly.

Regards,

Michael

Folks,

I wanted to propose changing the defaults for the following CMake
variables in ParaView:

VTK_RENDERING_BACKEND = OpenGL2 (currently OpenGL1)
VTK_ENABLE_KITS = ON (currently OFF)

The former will use the new rendering backend. The latter will build
fewer libraries since multiple VTK modules gets built as a single kit
library.

Thoughts? Any other suggestions?
