<br>
Not wanting to hijack the thread "Linker error with OpenMPI
1.6.2", here's a more descriptive email.<br>
<br>
I forgot to write an email on this the other day, but at the
project <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://code.google.com/p/unofficial-paraview-dev-install/">http://code.google.com/p/unofficial-paraview-dev-install/</a>
, a batch of development builds of ParaView 3.98.0 for Windows has
been released, along with some notes on some of the changes made
and how to reproduce these builds:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://code.google.com/p/unofficial-paraview-dev-install/wiki/Notes3980">http://code.google.com/p/unofficial-paraview-dev-install/wiki/Notes3980</a><br>
The objective of the project is to attempt to bring back the
development builds that ParaView 3.8 had.<br>
<br>
Since I used MSVC 2008 Express (with some minor changes for
building for x64 as well), I wasn't as successful as the automated
dashboard system.<br>
<br>
Therefore, here is a summary of the mods for making things work:<br>
<ul>
<li>The hacks on Open-MPI were because I only used MSVC 2008
Express and because I don't have a FORTRAN compiler...<br>
Reason: CMake configuration part on Open-MPI's side always
stopped with something about a missing "mspdb" DLL...<br>
</li>
<li>Open-MPI was defaulting to building in debug mode...<br>
</li>
<li>I didn't use ninja, because it isn't strictly necessary, but
there was a minor glitch on Windows when ninja isn't used.<br>
</li>
</ul>
Other hacks:<br>
<ul>
<li>Upgrading SILO on MSVC Express has to be done manually, so I
added an option to interactively upgrade the project.</li>
<li>Added options for independent installations of: ParaView's
development files; OpenMPI; full development installation,
which is a snapshot of the "install" folder used by the
SuperBuild.</li>
<li>Added an option for building with Java wrapping, which
wasn't very successful. The diagnosis this far was that VTK
6.0.0 that ParaView 3.98.0 is still under development on this
part.<br>
</li>
</ul>
The list of actual changes is browseable here:

But keep in mind that it hasn't got a very clean history, because
of some iterations on trying to fix some things and to add
features.<br>
