I’m running into this issue when configuring ParaView master on Ubuntu 18.04 using gcc 8 from synaptic and CMake 3.19.0-rc1. This is a 64-bit system (AMD Ryzen 7 3700X) and I haven’t seen this error in the past with CMake projects. VTK compiles and runs fine BTW. Any help would be appreciated.  
Thanks!

This looks like a regression in 3.19. Thanks for the report.

And a fix to make ParaView not care about the new behavior anyways: [https://gitlab.kitware.com/paraview/paraview/-/merge\_requests/4481](https://gitlab.kitware.com/paraview/paraview/-/merge_requests/4481)
