[Paraview] Dodgy windows built

[Parker, Andrew (UK Filton)]

Hi,

Thanks, no third party libs, although I am using 4.7.3 of qt which I built myself... Data output is the same on both platforms.  To me it feels like a bug that in Linux get's resolved due to some weird non-standard compiler approach, and in windows does not.  For instance, the limits being correct under Linux and wrong in windows is odd, even if that's nothing to do with visualisation.  I fail to see why a min/max of the  node co-ordinates vector could be different regardless of platform, and hence I'd say something is screwed in the compilations....  In fact the process performs identically inside the reader on both platforms, it's almost as if it goes wrong once it returns back to paraview. That implies the content is somehow ok in Linux and while identical wrong for windows - hence my compiler or hidden bug type thoughts...

No ideas basically.

Cheers,
Andy

What, if any, third party libraries does your reader link to?

Have you tried directly comparing the data sets produced by your reader on both platforms? I would go about that by attaching some ascii writer inside the reader and comparing the outputs.

good luck,
