[Paraview] Statically linking catalyst to fortran simulation code on Titan

[David E DeMarle]

I preset these config flags to make sure I got the static MPI libs.

list(APPEND PARAVIEW_OPTIONS "-DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS:BOOL=OFF")
list(APPEND PARAVIEW_OPTIONS "-DPARAVIEW_USE_MPI:BOOL=ON")
list(APPEND PARAVIEW_OPTIONS
"-DMPI_INCLUDE_DIRS:STRING=/opt/cray/mpt/5.5.5/gni/mpich2-gnu/47/include")
list(APPEND PARAVIEW_OPTIONS
"-DMPI_LIBRARY:FILEPATH=/opt/cray/mpt/5.5.5/gni/mpich2-gnu/47/lib/libmpich.a")
list(APPEND PARAVIEW_OPTIONS
"-DMPI_EXTRA_LIBRARY:FILEPATH=/opt/cray/mpt/5.5.5/gni/mpich2-gnu/47/lib/libmpichcxx.a")
list(APPEND PARAVIEW_OPTIONS "-DVTK_USE_SYSTEM_HDF5:BOOL=1")

It is likely the case that presetting these in your simulation code will
make it choose the right ones too:
list(APPEND PARAVIEW_OPTIONS
"-DMPI_INCLUDE_DIRS:STRING=/opt/cray/mpt/5.5.5/gni/mpich2-gnu/47/include")
list(APPEND PARAVIEW_OPTIONS
"-DMPI_LIBRARY:FILEPATH=/opt/cray/mpt/5.5.5/gni/mpich2-gnu/47/lib/libmpich.a")
list(APPEND PARAVIEW_OPTIONS
"-DMPI_EXTRA_LIBRARY:FILEPATH=/opt/cray/mpt/5.5.5/gni/mpich2-gnu/47/lib/libmpichcxx.a")
