[Paraview-developers] ParaView Release OSX Compilation

[Cory Quammen]

Bastien and Mathieu,

The best thing would be to build against the ParaView SDK. I don't
think this is available in the Mac builds, though, and I'm not sure it
is available for other OS's either.

Utkarsh, am I wrong about this? I don't see anything in the
ParaView.app that looks like an SDK.

In some cases we have shipped these kinds of plugins with the ParaView
binaries and leave them unloaded by default. See the
GeodesicMeasurement plugin, for instance. If the plugin is
proprietary, that won't work, though.

Otherwise, to be compatible with the official 5.2 binary, you would
need to have a 5.2 build of ParaView on bigmac, which is the buildbot
that produces the binaries, and build your plugin against that.
Checkout the v5.2.0 tag in the superbuild and set the build options to
those used for the official binary which are listed in one of the
buildbot superbuilds, e.g.,

https://buildbot.kitware.com/builders/paraview-bigmac-osx-shared-release%2Bopengl2%2Bosx10.8%2Bqt4%2Bsuperbuild/builds/186

It may be more practical to build a custom ParaView binary on a Mac
you have on hand along with the plugin and distribute those to your
customer, especially if the plugin will be changing in the future.

Hope that helps,
Cory
