[Paraview] Superbuild and OSX

[Reuter, Michael A.]

This gets around the clang argument problem, but the ParaView CMake configuration step still fails for an unknown reason.

Cherry-pick this fix for now : http://review.source.kitware.com/#/c/16665/
It'll go into master soon.

Ben, anything this fix is waiting on?

Hi,

       I’m having trouble getting the git-master version of the Superbuild running on OSX (10.9) with clang (5.1). Setting the CMAKE_OSX_SYSROOT variable causes the following error during CMake (2.8.12.2) generation for the ParaView subproject:

-- The C compiler identification is unknown
-- The CXX compiler identification is unknown
-- Check for working C compiler using: Ninja
-- Check for working C compiler using: Ninja -- broken
CMake Error at /Applications/CMake 2.8-12.app/Contents/share/cmake-2.8/Modules/CMakeTestCCompiler.cmake:61 (message):
 The C compiler "/usr/bin/cc" is not able to compile a simple test program.

 It fails with the following output:

  Change Dir: /Users/2zr/build/ParaView-Superbuild/paraview/src/paraview-build/CMakeFiles/CMakeTmp

 clang: note: this will be a hard error (cannot be downgraded to a warning)
 in the future

 ninja: build stopped: subcommand failed.

Even if I empty the CMAKE_OSX_SYSROOT variable, the system still tries to pass an empty -sysroot flag to clang causing it to choke. I removed the sysroot flag from the top-level CMakeLists.txt, but then the ParaView CMake setup fails for a reason I can’t seem to understand. I’m attaching the log showing the CMake output. The only obvious thing I see is the Fortran compiler. Is that required?

Thanks,
M
