[Paraview] ParaView-Superbuild Win10 Errors

[Jamil Goettlich]

Hello,

I am having Problems building ParaView with ParaView-Superbuild. As Visual
Studio is not supported, I tried other build systems and compilers.
Unfortunately none of them succeeded. On the other hand I was able to build
small HelloWord programs with each of the combinations listed below and
without any errors. Here is what I did:

First, I cloned from git:
git clone --recursive
https://gitlab.kitware.com/paraview/paraview-superbuild.git
Then cd paraview-superbuild and created new folder (build).

The following cases did not work out (Doesnt matter if using Git Bash or VS
Command Prompt):
Build System: Ninja, Compiler: MinGW
command: cmake .. -G "Ninja"
Error:
CMake Error at superbuild/projects/win32/boost.cmake:5 (message):
  At least Visual Studio 9.0 is required
Call Stack (most recent call first):
  superbuild/cmake/SuperbuildMacros.cmake:477 (include)
  superbuild/CMakeLists.txt:145 (_superbuild_discover_projects)

Although I have Visual Studio 15 2017 installed it does not seem to work.

Build System: Ninja, Compiler: MSVC compiler (cl.exe in C:\Program Files
(x86)\Microsoft Visual
Studio\2017\Community\VC\Tools\MSVC\14.12.25827\bin\Hostx64\x64)
Error:

The C compiler

Studio/2017/Community/VC/Tools/MSVC/14.12.25827/bin/Hostx86/x64/cl.exe"
is not able to compile a simple test program.
It fails with the following output:

To work around this problem, try simplifying or changing the program near
the locations listed above.

Please choose the Technical Support command on the Visual C++

You will be prompted to send an error report to Microsoft later.

Stop.

Here, cmake recognized the compiler, but it throws another error
Error:

CMake Error at C:/Program
Files/CMake/share/cmake-3.10/Modules/CMakeDetermineRCCompiler.cmake:20
(message):

CMakeLists.txt:3 (project)

CMake Error: CMAKE_RC_COMPILER not set, after EnableLanguage


I am out of ideas now.
I would be really happy for a detailed build description as I am sure I did
not understand something properly.

And every hint on how to resolve on of those errors is very welcome too.


Thanks in advance!
