[Paraview] Errors while compiling paraview3 on Windows

[Francois Bertel]

Hi,

I can only answer about the glaux error.

For the glaux issue, it has been fixed a while ago, but obviously it is not part of ParaView 3.2.1:

Ref: http://public.kitware.com/pipermail/vtkusers/2007-October/092852.html

$ cvs log VTK/Rendering/vtkWin32OpenGLRenderWindow.cxx

symbolic names:
         ParaView-3-2-1: 1.151

----------------------------
revision 1.152
date: 2007-10-02 10:40:40 -0400;  author: fbertel;  state: Exp;  lines: +2 -7
COMP:Removed wrong dependency on glaux. It looks like legacy code. VTK definitively does not depend on glaux. glaux was removed from the Vista SDK, therefore vtkWin32OpenGLRenderWindow.cxx was even broken in this context,


here is the result of "cvs diff -r 1.151 -r 1.152 VTK/Rendering/vtkWin32OpenGLRenderWindow.cxx":
