[Paraview] ParaView Superbuild - changing default Paraciew cmake option

[Su, Simon M CTR USARMY ARL (US)]

Hi Ben,

Thanks for your help. How do I pass both arguments to ParaView build with  PV_EXTRA_CMAKE_ARGS?

When I do -DPV_EXTRA_CMAKE_ARGS separately, cmake didn't like it.
-DPV_EXTRA_CMAKE_ARGS="-DModule_vtkIOXdmf3:BOOL=ON" -DPV_EXTRA_CMAKE_ARGS="-DBoost_NO_BOOST_CMAKE:BOOL=ON"

I am getting
CMake Warning:
  Manually-specified variables were not used by the project:

    PV_EXTRA_CMAKE_ARGS=-DBoost_NO_BOOST_CMAKE

When I do both argument in the same -DPV_EXTRA_CMAKE_ARGS, cmake also didn't like it.
-DPV_EXTRA_CMAKE_ARGS="-DModule_vtkIOXdmf3:BOOL=ON -DBoost_NO_BOOST_CMAKE:BOOL=ON" 

I am getting 
CMake Warning:
  Manually-specified variables were not used by the project:

    PV_EXTRA_CMAKE_ARGS=-DModule_vtkIOXdmf3


But if I just do one of the argument, 
-DPV_EXTRA_CMAKE_ARGS="-DModule_vtkIOXdmf3:BOOL=ON"

it worked.

Please see below...

thanks

The options need to be passed to the ParaView build itself, not the
superbuild. There's a cache option in the superbuild named
PV_EXTRA_CMAKE_ARGS which should contain
"-DBoost_NO_BOOST_CMAKE:BOOL=ON -DModule_vtkIOXdmf3:BOOL=ON" to pass it
to the ParaView build properly.
