Building ParaView on Centos-7.9 with GCC 4.8.5

Hello and thanks again,

Okay, can I ask for a clarification on that? I’m not sure what you mean by “linked MR”

And to revisit on issue from the original post, I’m back to compiling the git clone I made on 11/09/2020, and I’m using this extra string (-DCMAKE_C_FLAGS:STRING="-std=c11 -D_GNU_SOURCE") which I found on a VTK-related forum. That gets me to 96% of the way through the build when I then encounter (maybe TMI):

.../ParaView-VR_git-20201109/Qt/ApplicationComponents/pqDataAssemblyPropertyWidget.cxx: In constructor ‘pqDataAssemblyPropertyWidget::pqDataAssemblyPropertyWidget(vtkSMProxy*, vtkSMPropertyGroup*, QWidget*)’:

       &pqDataAssemblyPropertyWidget::assemblyTreeModified);
                                                          ^

                                    ^

                                    ^

So I’m guessing maybe this is because my version of Qt isn’t new enough, but the CMakeLists.txt file hadn’t caught up to that yet.

(P.S. I don’t know whether I got the code quoting right as no tags show up in the edit window.)

Thanks,
Bill
