[Paraview] ParaView builds using Mesa

[Scott, W Alan]

Yes, I do have Python enabled.  I see where shared libs gets turned on.

I will try to create fpic versions of static mesa, and if that doesn't work, try a dynamic build of ParaView (again).

Thanks.

Alan

Hi Alan,

Are you building with python enabled?  If python is enabled then BUILD_SHARED_LIBS will turn itself on automatically.

Is there any reason you cannot compile mesa with shared libs, or compile mesa static with -fPIC?

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

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
