[Paraview] Superbuild: passing compiler flags

Thu Jun 13 13:37:31 EDT 2013

Hi Richard,

the solution seems to be elsewhere...

The variables that get propagated to ParaView don't have necessarily the
same names. (I've listed the ones that are not using the same name)

    -DMPI_CXX_LIBRARIES:STRING=${PV_MPI_CXX_LIBRARIES}
    -DMPI_C_LIBRARIES:STRING=${PV_MPI_C_LIBRARIES}
    -DMPI_EXTRA_LIBRARY:STRING=${PV_MPI_EXTRA_LIBRARY}
    -DMPI_LIBRARY:FILEPATH=${PV_MPI_LIBRARY}

Therefore you may need to duplicate some values and use PV_XXX as key.

Not sure that's intended, but I tried to set
 -DPV_MPI_CXX_LIBRARIES:STRING="a b c d"
and it properly get pushed to the ParaView CMakeCache.txt.

Seb
