[Paraview] ANN: ParaView 3.8.1 Available for download

[Sven Buijssen]

Hi Alexey,

The dependency is inherited. As stated in the wiki
(http://www.paraview.org/Wiki/ParaView:Plugin_Deployment_with_Development_Installs)
you'll need to provide your own installation of Qt 4.6.2 - but not necessarily
using the path used at Kitware on their build hosts.

I typically fix up the Makefiles *every time cmake has been rerun* as follows:

* alter the installation path of qt (use something appropriate instead of
  /path/to/qt/lib !)

sed -i -e
's,/home/kitware/.*ParaView-3-.*/Support/qt-4.6.2/bin/lib,/path/to/qt/lib,g' \
        CMakeFiles/*.dir/build.make \
        CMakeFiles/*.dir/flags.make \
        CMakeFiles/*.dir/link.txt

* get rid of ffmpeg, hdf5, sz and python dependency (which my plugins do not
depend on)

sed -i -e '/^lib.*.so: \/home\/kitware\/.*ParaView-3-.*\/Support\//d;' \
        CMakeFiles/*.dir/build.make
sed -i -e 's/ [^ ]*libhdf5.a//; s/ [^ ]*libsz.a//; s/-lpython2.5//;' \
        CMakeFiles/*.dir/link.txt

Hope that helps
Sven
