[Paraview] howto : Build paraview (git master) on OSX 10.9

[Biddiscombe, John A.]

Just in case anyone else makes the attempt and fails and to remind myself when I lose my config … (apologies, I’ve never used a mac before, so I’m new to this and I’ve had it less than 24 hours so it may be there are easier ways to get this done).

Assuming you are using default clang

/usr/bin/c++ --version

Apple LLVM version 5.0 (clang-500.2.79) (based on LLVM 3.3svn)

Target: x86_64-apple-darwin13.0.2

Thread model: posix

qt4 - did not compile out of the box, this link
http://trac.macports.org/ticket/40852
lists a bunch of patches. I downloaded the diffs for the Qt part (ignore the mac ports diffs) and applied them to the qt-4.8.5 source from
http://download.qt-project.org/official_releases/qt/4.8/4.8.5/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.8.5.tar.gz
I only applied the patches with .2 in them where there are more than one for the same file (was that wrong?)

patch-src_3rdparty_clucene_src_CLucene_search_FieldCacheImpl.cpp.diff

patch-src_3rdparty_webkit_Source_WebCore_platform_Timer.cpp.2.diff

patch-src_3rdparty_webkit_Source_WebCore_platform_Timer.cpp.diff

patch-src_3rdparty_webkit_Source_WebCore_platform_Timer.h.diff

patch-src_3rdparty_webkit_Source_WebCore_platform_network_qt_QNetworkReplyHandler.cpp.diff

patch-src_3rdparty_webkit_Source_WebKit_qt_Api_qgraphicswebview.cpp.diff

patch-src_3rdparty_webkit_Source_WebKit_qt_QtWebKit.pro-2.diff

patch-src_3rdparty_webkit_Source_WebKit_qt_QtWebKit.pro.diff

patch-src_3rdparty_webkit_Source_WebKit_qt_WebCoreSupport_NotificationPresenterClientQt.cpp.diff

patch-src_corelib_global_qglobal.h.diff

patch-src_plugins_bearer_corewlan_qcorewlanengine.mm.diff

 To build Qt I used the following config line (I had to disable webkit even with the patches supplied, also lib tiff gave me trouble so I disabled that too)

configure --prefix=/Users/biddisco/apps/qt/4.8.5/clang_64 -system-zlib -confirm-license -opensource -nomake demos -nomake examples -cocoa -fast -release -no-3dnow -L/opt/X11/lib -I/opt/X11/include -platform unsupported/macx-clang -no-qt3support -no-libtiff -no-webkit -nomake docs -arch x86_64

Mpich-3.0.4 did not compile out of the box either, so instead I installed ‘brew’ for package management and used

brew install mpich2

Which in fact installs

mpich2-3.0.4
Which is just what we want

Before building paraview, apply a couple of small patches

Then run cmake (installed by brew also) in the paraview tree and configure with MPI etc and build. Disable webkit (needs to be done in several places which is a bit annoying)

My paraview seems to be working fine. Tested mpiexec –n 2 bin/pvserver and all is correct, I can render a sphere and see each process doing the right thing.
