[Paraview] Unable to build Command Line Executables in Paraview 5.3 using CMake

[d.r.tunuguntla at utwente.nl]

Dear Paraview Team,


Currently, I am building paraview 5.3 from its source files alongwith Qt 5.8. I am doing this to add superquadric custom glyphs in paraview.


After a whole day of figuring out and installing the required libraries, the build process now reaches 100% however it fails when trying to build command line executables. Below is the is what i see on my terminal when i use make -d..

=========================================


So as a temporary solution, I commented out the add_subdirectory(CommandLineExecutables) in the CMakeLists.txt.


#if (PARAVIEW_ENABLE_COMMANDLINE_TOOLS)
#  add_subdirectory(CommandLineExecutables)
#endif()


Then the build succeeds. But sadly, I am still unable to start paraview because then I get some "libprotobuf" error which states that I need to update my libprotobuf library.


==============


libprotobuf FATAL /home/scordee/Paraview/Source/ThirdParty/protobuf/vtkprotobuf/src/google/protobuf/stubs/common.cc:62] This program requires version 2.6.0 of the Protocol Buffer runtime library, but the installed version is 2.3.0.  Please update your library.  If you compiled the program yourself, make sure that your headers are from the same version of Protocol Buffers as your link-time library.  (Version verification failed in "/build/mir-pkdHET/mir-0.21.0+16.04.20160330/obj-x86_64-linux-gnu/src/protobuf/mir_protobuf.pb.cc".)
Aborted (core dumped)


=============


Could you please help me with the above issue? I am building paraview on Ubuntu Xenial 16 LTS.


Thank you in advance

Deepak
