[Paraview] 3.12.0 building issues due to Protobuf

Wed Jan 11 08:21:33 EST 2012

I doubt that we have any in-built support for using an external protobuf,
but like all other pv/vtk dependencies, it would be great to have as an
option if anyone has the time to make it happen.

My altercations with protobuf had to do with cross compilation on Cray. I
don't recall if the error/warning messages were similar. The overall
strategy of cross compilation is to build ParaView once for the front end
and then use the generated compile time executables (such as protoc) during
the back end compile. My changes had to do with making that work right and
you can find them in the git log for ParaView's protobuf submodule.
