Building ParaView superbuild in windows 10

I have fallow this answer to build ParaView Superbuild

But I’m stuck after cmake-gui

I assume there is where I “configure paraview-superfield accordingly to your need” and “ENABLE_qt5 and USE_SYSTEM_qt should be ON”, but I don’t know what that means.

Any help?

You need to specify the source directory when starting cmake-gui

cmake-gui ../pvsb

Once you do that, and hit the ‘Configure’ button, the ENABLE_qt5 option and others will show up.

HTH,

Aron

Thanks Aron! But still don’t get that. What I am missing?

Yes, you have to choose a generator and click Finish. Then click the ‘Configure’ button and the options will appear. You may want to read a little about how cmake-gui works.

Great! Thanks for the answer.
I used Ninja as the generator in cmake-gui (don’t know if that’s correct because the post mentioned ninja after cmake-gui)

I changed CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE from Debug to Release and
CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX from C:\Program Files (x86)\paraview-superbuild to C:/pv/pvsb. I don’t know if that’s correct but made more sense to me.

I installed the last version of Python (3.8), but still got this error message.

What else can I do?
