[Paraview] Building on Titan using ParaViewSuperbuild

[David E DeMarle]

Your tools build is pointing to the compiler wrapper that you normally
would use to make code for the back end.
The tools build should just use plain old local gcc since we only build
things at that point that run on the login node.

Try these setup scripts:
I source configtools.sh to set up my environment before I build the compile
tools, and configcross.sh before before I cross compile ParaView.

configtools.sh
#use my own cmake, system one is too old
setenv PATH
/autofs/na4_proj/csc035/demarle/pvdev/titan/cmake-build/bin:${PATH}
#switch compiler to compile code for front end
module unload PrgEnv-pgi
module load gcc
#configure settings for to build compile tools only
cmake \
  -DCROSS_BUILD_STAGE:STRING=TOOLS -Dcross_target:STRING=xk7_gnu \
  -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE:STRING=Release \
  -DBUILD_TESTING:BOOL=FALSE \
  -DParaView_FROM_GIT:BOOL=OFF \
  -DENABLE_paraview:BOOL=TRUE \
  -DENABLE_boost:BOOL=TRUE \
  -DENABLE_python:BOOL=TRUE \
  -DENABLE_portfwd:BOOL=FALSE \
  ../../ParaViewSuperbuild


then make

configcross.sh
#use my own cmake, system one is too old
setenv PATH
/autofs/na4_proj/csc035/demarle/pvdev/titan/cmake-build/bin:${PATH}
#switch compiler to compile code for back end
module unload PrgEnv-pgi
module unload gcc
module load PrgEnv-gnu
#not sure why module load wasn't sufficient, but ended up needing to force
#cmake to choose the right compiler
setenv CC /opt/cray/xt-asyncpe/5.17/bin/cc
setenv CXX /opt/cray/xt-asyncpe/5.17/bin/CC
#configure settings to cross compile python, (mesa - implied), and paraview
cmake \
  -DCROSS_BUILD_STAGE:STRING=CROSS -Dcross_target:STRING=xk7_gnu \
  -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE:STRING=Release \
  -DBUILD_TESTING:BOOL=TRUE \
  -DParaView_FROM_GIT:BOOL=OFF \
  -DENABLE_paraview:BOOL=TRUE \
  -DENABLE_python:BOOL=TRUE \
  ../../ParaViewSuperbuild

then make again
