[Paraview] SuperBuild errors with VS2008 win32 (On Win7 Ult x64)

[Michael Jackson]

I took a look at that page a it struck me that at least one of the errors (ncconfig.h.in) is clearly a bug. From the wiki page are your hints:

• Problems with vtkNetCDF when building win32 with MSVC2008:
• The error message was paraview-3.14.1-superbuild\include\H5public.h(133) : error C2632: 'int' followed by 'int' is illegal.
• To fix this, go to the folder ParaView-xxx-SuperBuild\ParaView-build\VTK\Utilities\vtknetcdf and edit the file ncconfig.h.

The relevant lines are:

/* Define to `int' if system doesn't define.  */
#cmakedefine ssize_t @ssize_t@

Those lines should probably be:

#ifndef ssize_t
#cmakedefine ssize_t @ssize_t@
#endif

 Because the issue is that NetCDF pulls in HDF5 and ssize_t is already defined in H5public.h.

My other question to the Kitware folks is that why are the NOT getting this error on their builds? I'll assume they are NOT getting the error because nothing in the SuperBuild would indicate this type of patch is needed for their builds?
