[Paraview] Build Custom Paraview and plugin in separate directories ?

[Eric E. Monson]

Hello,

Yes, you can build custom (branded) versions of ParaView with 3.8. You can either build ParaView and all of its supporting libraries from source, and then build custom applications against that build, or you can now download a "ParaView Development Installation" which should have everything you need to build plugins and customized versions of ParaView against.

Maybe you already know this, but to see examples you need to get the source code and look in [pv_source]/Examples and in there are both CustomApplications and Plugins directories. All of these examples can be moved to a different location and built out of the ParaView source tree. Just make sure to make a copy of the whole directory, including the CMakeLists.txt file.

If you are having trouble running CMake to configure ParaView itself or a custom application or plugin, then maybe the ParaView:Build_And_Install wiki page will help:

http://www.paraview.org/Wiki/ParaView:Build_And_Install

The documentation on building ParaView plugins is here:

http://www.paraview.org/Wiki/Plugin_HowTo

and custom applications is here:

http://www.paraview.org/Wiki/Writing_Custom_Applications

All of which are linked off of the page I see Utkarsh just sent you.

Good luck,
-Eric
