[Paraview] ParaView builds using Mesa

[Scott, W Alan]

I am trying to create a paraview (client side) build of ParaView using Mesa on Linux.  I have compiled Mesa using Mesa 7.4.2, compiled with 'make linux-x86-64-static'.

I am now trying to compile ParaView, and keep failing with the following:

[  7%] Built target Cosmo
Linking CXX shared library ../../../bin/libvtkftgl.so
/usr/bin/ld: /projects/viz/paraview/support/Linux-cee-sw-rhel5-x86_64/install/Mesa-7.4.2/lib/libMESAGL.a(glapi.o): relocation R_X86_64_32 against `a local symbol' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC
/projects/viz/paraview/support/Linux-cee-sw-rhel5-x86_64/install/Mesa-7.4.2/lib/libMESAGL.a: could not read symbols: Bad value
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[2]: *** [bin/libvtkftgl.so.pv3.10] Error 1
make[1]: *** [VTK/Utilities/ftgl/CMakeFiles/vtkftgl.dir/all] Error 2
make: *** [all] Error 2

I have tried setting "BUILD_SHARED_LIBS" off when using ccmake on paraView, but it keeps turning itself on.

What I believe I need to do is create a static build of ParaView, thus Mesa won't need the -fPIC flag.

Any ideas?

Thanks all,

Alan
