Cannot Find VTK Modules Necessary for vtkPVPythonCatalyst

In Situ Support
1

I am attempting to get the basic catalyst implementation in The Catalyst User’s Guide v2.0 working on the simulation framework I am working on, but I have run into issues.

I took my CMakeLists.txt from the Catalyst User’s Guide. I have copied it below.CMakeLists.txt (507 Bytes)

I have also added the CMakeCache.txt generated from the above file.
CMakeCache.txt (40.2 KB)

To preface, my machine is running Ubuntu 18.04 and I am using Paraview 5.8 which I retrieved and built from
https://www.paraview.org/Wiki/ParaView:Build_And_Install

After running cmake .. I get the following error:

CMake Warning (dev) in CMakeLists.txt:I took the CMakeLists.txt from
No project() command is present. The top-level CMakeLists.txt file must
contain a literal, direct call to the project() command. Add a line of
code such as

project(ProjectName)

near the top of the file, but after cmake_minimum_required().

CMake is pretending there is a “project(Project)” command on the first
line.
This warning is for project developers. Use -Wno-dev to suppress it.

IN_LIST will be interpreted as an operator when the policy is set to NEW.
Since the policy is not set the OLD behavior will be used.

Found package configuration file:

/home/student/Documents/Paraview/Paraview5.8/paraview_build/paraview-config.cmake

but it set ParaView_FOUND to FALSE so package “ParaView” is considered to
be NOT FOUND. Reason given by package:

The following imported targets are referenced, but are missing:
VTK::RenderingRayTracing VTK::IOIoss VTK::IOCONVERGECFD
** VTK::AcceleratorsVTKmFilters VTK::AcceleratorsVTKmCore**

– Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!

See also “/home/student/Documents/Athena/code/Athena-RFX.4.3.0_PS_CVersion.Catalyst.temp/src/CMakeFiles/CMakeError.log”.

I believe this issue is caused by am improper build of Paraview so I will also add my Paraview’s CMakeCache file.

If you have issues with the formatting of this post please let me know as I am new to this.

Thank you.

@ben.boeckel @utkarsh.ayachit Any ideas? I’ve been working with Sean but couldn’t figure this out.

Here’s a potential update to the CMakeLists.txt

# FIX: add a project name
project(AthenaCatalyst)
# FIX: don't use too old a cmake version. If you use something like 2.8.8 as
#  you did, then CMake policy defaults may not work.
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.16)

set(ParaView_DIR "/home/student/Docuements/Paraview/Paraview5.8/paraview_build")

# FIX: use new name of the component.
find_package(ParaView 5.8 REQUIRED COMPONENTS PythonCatalyst)

set(Adaptor_SRCS catalyst.c)

add_library(Adaptor ${Adaptor_SRCS})

# FIX: use correct module targets.
target_link_libraries(Adaptor ParaView::PythonCatalyst VTK::mpi)

add_library(AthenaCatalyst main.c FEDataStructures.c)
target_link_libraries(AthenaCatalyst LINK_PRIVATE Adaptor)

# FIXME, more all the `vtk_module_link()` etc. at the end of the file,
# this is no longer needed.

I have made those changes, but the problem still persists. I have also tried using paraview superbuild to gather all of the dependencies that I need (ex. ospray), but this does not seem to work either.
