Hi Simon,<br>
<br>
You do not need to place the CMakeLists.txt inside ParaView at all to<br>
build a plugin. You just need to set that folder as the source folder<br>
for CMake, and set a different directory as the plugin build<br>
directory. After that you will need to set ParaView_DIR to your<br>
ParaView build directory.<br>
<br>
I would also look over: <a href="http://www.paraview.org/Wiki/Plugin_HowTo" target="_blank">http://www.paraview.org/Wiki/Plugin_HowTo</a> for<br>
my information on building plugins.<br>
