[Paraview] Why does paraview want to install its own duplicate of QT libraries?

[Dave Partyka]

Hi Francois,

I apologize for the errors. In 3.8 we reorganized alot of the logic for
building ParaView. Previously the install rules for Qt where only run when
making a redistributable binary of ParaView for our users to download from
our webpage. Now they always get run.

A quick fix for this would be to edit Line 103 of
Applications\ParaView\CMakeLists.txt and set _install_qt_libs to OFF.

SET(_install_qt_libs OFF)

We will find a better solution tomorrow. I am assuming your are just setting
DESTDIR and running 'make install'?
