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](https://discourse.paraview.org/uploads/short-url/aUGcS0HDbyI13SK1UfUCfMJhyDx.txt) (507 Bytes)
I have also added the CMakeCache.txt generated from the above file.
[CMakeCache.txt](https://discourse.paraview.org/uploads/short-url/uuc5z9t1TBWpi6U9DIOngJWbFCL.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](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

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
```auto
# 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.
