Summary0013652: External plugin linking error involving vtkRenderingMatplotlib in v3.98-RC2
DescriptionWhen compiling a ParaView plugin outside the ParaView build, I get a linker error:

Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64:
  "vtkRenderingMatplotlib_AutoInit_Construct()", referenced from:
      vtkRenderingFreeType_AutoInit::vtkRenderingFreeType_AutoInit()in BinningFilter_Plugin.cxx.o
      vtkRenderingFreeType_AutoInit::vtkRenderingFreeType_AutoInit()in moc_BinningFilter_Plugin.cxx.o
  "vtkRenderingMatplotlib_AutoInit_Destruct()", referenced from:
      vtkRenderingFreeType_AutoInit::~vtkRenderingFreeType_AutoInit()in BinningFilter_Plugin.cxx.o
      vtkRenderingFreeType_AutoInit::~vtkRenderingFreeType_AutoInit()in moc_BinningFilter_Plugin.cxx.o
ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture x86_64
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[2]: *** [bin/libBinningFilter.dylib] Error 1
make[1]: *** [Plugins/BinningFilter/CMakeFiles/BinningFilter.dir/all] Error 2
make: *** [all] Error 2

This linker error started with ParaView commit c369423b81ab182e7af26ed6dec90458ada9b77b and does not occur with v3.98-RC1.

I dug into this a bit in commit dca265f507f6306d4ae487cfe8597a62f1f87ecf.

In ParaView/CMake/VTKModules.cmake, vtkRenderingMatplotlib is added to _vtk_modules. The variable PARAVIEW_DEFAULT_VTK_MODULES is then set to the value of _vtk_modules.

In ParaView/ParaViewCore/ServerManager/SMApplication/module.cmake, PARAVIEW_DEFAULT_VTK_MODULES is listed under COMPILE_DEPENDS and not DEPENDS. As a result, vtkRenderingMatplotlib is never added to the dependencies of the vtkPVServerManagerApplication module (nor any other module in ParaView). If we could get that dependency added to vtkPVServerManagerApplication or one of the modules it depends on, then the linker error should be fixed.

Trusting that Utkarsh tested correctly. Closing.
