Description Helmut Jarausch 2009-05-18 09:16:02 UTC

Unfortunately there is no ebuild for sci-visualization/paraview which
lets build a (qt4) GUI for paraview. (Without the GUI, paraview is next to
useless).
For the version in portage (up to 3.4.0) the qt4 flag is masked.
Version 3.6.0 is announced but up to the release I need an ebuild for
the CVS version of paraview.
Unfortunately I am not accustomed to cmake.
My current version fails to link since it cannot find a library which it
has built itself in <BUILDDIR>/bin.

I'll add my current attempt as an attachment.
Please help!


Reproducible: Always

Dear Helmut,

Paraview-3.6.1 is now in portage and it should work
fine with the GUI and >=qt4.4. 

I don't think I have the resources to maintain
a cvs/svn ebuild for paraview since it is quite
a tricky package to build in general even from
the released sources.

Hence, I will close this request as INVALID
and hope that's all right.

Best,
Markus
