Bug 473386 – sci-visualization/paraview-3.98 ships with incorrect cmake files

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Freddie Witherden 2013-06-15 18:10:40 UTC]

Install paraview-3.98 with the development use flag enabled.  Then run:

freddie@fluorine ~/Programming/PyFR $ grep "/var/tmp" /usr/lib64/cmake/paraview-3.98/*
grep: /usr/lib64/cmake/paraview-3.98/Modules: Is a directory
/usr/lib64/cmake/paraview-3.98/ParaViewConfig.cmake:  set (VTK_CONFIG_FILE "/var/tmp/portage/sci-visualization/paraview-3.98.0-r1/work/paraview-3.98.0_build/VTK/VTKConfig.cmake")
/usr/lib64/cmake/paraview-3.98/ParaViewConfig.cmake:  set (ParaView_CMAKE_DIR "/var/tmp/portage/sci-visualization/paraview-3.98.0-r1/work/ParaView-3.98.0-src/CMake")
/usr/lib64/cmake/paraview-3.98/ParaViewConfig.cmake:  set (PARAVIEW_CONFIG_TARGETS_FILE "/var/tmp/portage/sci-visualization/paraview-3.98.0-r1/work/paraview-3.98.0_build/ParaViewTargets.cmake")
/usr/lib64/cmake/paraview-3.98/ParaViewConfig.cmake:  list(APPEND VTK_INCLUDE_DIRS "/var/tmp/portage/sci-visualization/paraview-3.98.0-r1/work/paraview-3.98.0_build")
/usr/lib64/cmake/paraview-3.98/VTKConfig.cmake:include("/var/tmp/portage/sci-visualization/paraview-3.98.0-r1/work/ParaView-3.98.0-src/VTK/CMake/vtkTestingMacros.cmake")

Observe how several of the cmake configuration files reference /var/tmp.  This creates a range of issues when attempting to use these cmake files to build plugins for paraview.  (As they in turn attempt to include from /var/tmp/...).

Do you have an idea how to fix it?

I might not have time to look deeper into that in the next few days. Paraview build system is one of the biggest I know of...

any change for paraview-4.0.1?

[Comment 3 Freddie Witherden 2013-07-26 15:23:18 UTC]

This appears to be fixed with ParaView 4.0.
