[Paraview] ParaView 3.8.1 and HDF5

[Biddiscombe, John A.]

I'm guessing ....

It looks like you've got paraview+stuff on the master (cscs-release) branch, but the icarus plugin is no longer compatible. We are building against our not yet released 'steering' branch, but left our developments in icarus on the master branch.

suggestion. Do a git log of paraview, see the most recent date, then update icarus to a date around then (ie go back to the same date) - does the compilation work?

it looks like we messed up - so far we have only a small number of users/collaborators, so didn't quite expect anyone else to build the lot. We'll make the steering stuff available asap. please bear with us, we're struggling to get our stuff ready for others to use ...

Hello,

thanks a lot for the hint. I have already expected, that there a some problems with ParaView's Xdmf.
But I have still one more question:
I've downloaded and installed your modified ParaView now. I've tried to install the Icarus-Plugin, but I get always the following compilation error:

	syntax error
	*** SYNTAX ERROR found in parsing the header file /home/nathalie/Desktop/Icarus-0.9.0/vtkDSMManager.h before line 99 ***
	make[2]: *** [vtkDSMManagerClientServer.cxx] Error 1
	make[1]: *** [CMakeFiles/CSCS_DSM.dir/all] Error 2

This failure occures, wehen vtkGetMacro is called.
I'm not sure what occurs the failure.
Can you help me, please?

best reagrds,
nathalie

Nathalie

The HDF5 you are using is our 'modified' one which supports external VFD compilation (such as the H5FDdsm code). paraview works fine with it, but the Xdmf that comes with paraview by default won't compile against it.

Our instructions/documentation so far are not very complete but we are working on it. We have a couple of deadlines to meet over the next couple of weeks so can't really help you out right now, but once we get the full docs written up, we will make sure you are cc'd.

To cut a long story short, we have our own paraview, with a modified Xdmf, git://git.cscs.ch/ParaView.git - submodules are different from the kitware versions for Xdmf, hdf etc. You may have more luck using the 'cscs-release' branch from there (it's a bit old, but was tested by 3rd parties and worked).

In a couple of weeks we ought to have things stable enough to update all the wikis etc (and branches) with the correct info for building and testing

Hello,


I've installed a HDF5 version on my system and I've tried to compile ParaView 3.8.1 with this version.
I used the CMAKE flag "PARAVIEW_USE_SYSTEM_HDF5" therefore. I always get the following error:

ParaView/Utilities/Xdmf2/libsrc/XdmfH5Driver.cxx:189: error: braces around scalar initializer for type 'herr_t (*)(H5FD_t*, unsigned char*, hbool_t)'

The HDF5 version, which I use, is a modified version, which is described in this site:
https://hpcforge.org/plugins/mediawiki/wiki/h5fddsm/index.php/Main_Page

What's going wrong with the installation of ParaView?


best regards,

nathalie
