[Paraview] Superbuild RPM error (python bytecode compile)

[Deij-van Rijswijk, Menno]

Hi all,

I’m trying to build ParaView using the super build. Everything works, except the creation of an RPM.

When I say everything works, I mean:
* I am able to install ParaView to a location in my user directory (~Programs/) and run ParaView from there.
* I can package a tar.gz using cpack -G TGZ - this gives me the .tar.gz file as expected.

I would like, however, to get an RPM, and that is not successful. Looking at the rpmbuild.out and .err (attached), I see that it stops when byte-compiling Python. It seems to choke on the py3_test_grammar.py

The problem seems very similar to this https://github.com/nmilford/rpm-python27/issues/6
and the solution they suggest is to add

%global _python_bytecompile_errors_terminate_build 0

On top of the RPM SPEC file. The problem is, however, that the SPEC file is generated by CPack, so I'm at a loss how to fix this.

Any suggestions are welcome!

Thanks and best wishes,


Menno Deij - van Rijswijk
