About integration of CFSReader

Development
5

I hope I followed the right path: I forked paraview and created a branch there: https://gitlab.kitware.com/fabian.wein/para-view-cfs-reader-plugin/-/tree/add_CFSReader_plugin
There I added our plugin to Plugins. It is dirty work in progress and not cleaned yet.

I then create a superbuild with paraview_SOURCE_SELECTION=source and paraview_SOURCE_DIR set.

In principle I can build paraview and my plugin and it works! However I still struggle with hdf’s cpp. I could not figure out, how to trigger building hdf5 with cpp. Currently I configure it manually and additionally need to add the hdf5cpp lib manually.

E.g. find_package(HDF5 REQUIRED COMPONENTS C HL CXX) only finds C and HL.

I did not succeed with Aaron’s suggestion in how to enable hdf5cpp in superbuild?
Adding hdf5cpp to my vtk.module
