[Paraview] Building ParaView v5.1.2 on Linux from source with support for GPU and SWR.

[Albina, Frank]

Hi David!

Thanks for the swift feedback. As I have been compiling ParaView from source for at least the last 6 years, it never came to my mind trying out the super-build. £

I’ll try it out and report if I find myself stuck.

By the way, which CMake version do you recommend for building ParaView v5.1.2 from the git repository?

Best regards,

Frank.

I recommend the ParaView superbuild. All of the incantations that we use to setup and build paraview, mesa and the rest of our dependencies are written down and maintained there.

https://gitlab.kitware.com/paraview/paraview-superbuild
We've used it for our Desktop binaries for years, and more and more often we use it for our HPC installs as well.

Dear all,
after having downloaded last week the latest ParaView release (v5.1.2) for Linux, I have found out that the binary version has the following folder structure in lib/paraview-5.1:
mesa-llvm
|-- libGL.so -> libGL.so.1
|-- libGL.so.1 -> libGL.so.1.5
|-- libGL.so.1.5
|-- libOSMesa.so -> libOSMesa.so.8
|-- libOSMesa.so.8 -> libOSMesa.so.8.0.0
`-- libOSMesa.so.8.0.0
mesa-swr-avx
|-- libGL.so -> libGL.so.1
|-- libGL.so.1 -> libGL.so.1.5
|-- libGL.so.1.5
|-- libOSMesa.so -> libOSMesa.so.8
|-- libOSMesa.so.8 -> libOSMesa.so.8.0.0
`-- libOSMesa.so.8.0.0
mesa-swr-avx2
|-- libGL.so -> libGL.so.1
|-- libGL.so.1 -> libGL.so.1.5
|-- libGL.so.1.5
|-- libOSMesa.so -> libOSMesa.so.8
|-- libOSMesa.so.8 -> libOSMesa.so.8.0.0
`-- libOSMesa.so.8.0.0
Which is an elegant way of providing a binary package for GPU and non-GPU architectures at the same time.
Hence my question: How do I build ParaView v5.1.2 from source to have the same folder structure so that I have one version for GPU and software rendering? I understand that swr-avx(2) should be also available from Mesa v12.x. Is there anything I’d need to consider / take care of before building the different OSMesa libraries with LLVM / OpenSWR?
