[Paraview] failed to launch paraview.exe

[Xunlei Wu]

Hi David and Utkarsh,
With your new patch on Python _DEBUG from git source, I was able to build on MSVC2010 without any PYTHON related hitches. I still have issues with VTK_WRAP_PYTHON_SIP as I reported earlier though.
When I launched the newly built paraview.exe I got the exact same error in pqApplicationCore.cxx, line 725:


  vtkSMApplication::GetApplication()->GetPluginManager()->LoadPluginConfigurationXML(
         config_file.toStdString().c_str());


QString config_file has value "C:/ParaViewGit_VS2010/bin/Debug/../.plugins". However, config_file.toStdString() has corrupted content.

BTW, shall I care about DirectX_LIBRARY? It appears ParaView's vtkRendering only uses DirectX9. Does including DirectX help ParaView performance on Windows machine?

Best,
x

Just to confirm. The VS10 x64 build on our nightly dashboard launches without issue.

Thanks, David. Please give me a day or two. I just flooded the VS10 build directory with my previous successful VS08 build in order to get some work done. I will build through VS10 tomorrow night.
Best,

We do test nightly with VS10 and one of our developers actively uses it as well so it "should" work. Have you tried running paraview with -dr command? In the mean time I will try and run the vs10 build on the dashboard machine.

Honestly, I am not the best guy to comment about windows, I use linux
for most of my development. Dave, any insights?

What is the value of config_file variable in pqApplicationCore.cxx:725?
