FYI, that option generated a warning

Oh, I see the ParaView 5.10.1 tag above now. Are you trying to build ParaView `master` with the 5.10.1 tag of the superbuild?

I am building the 5.10.1 tag from superbuild rather than master so that I have a reproducible scenario.

I did the git submodule init and update

The tagged version in superbuild should pull in the correct version combination of dependency for the correct build right ?

What is the `paraview_SOURCE_SELECTION` for your build?

It is set to `git`

I see that it has other options like source and 5.10.1

I should override with 5.10.1 ?

Yes, otherwise you’re getting `master`.

We should document that, if not already,

The problem is that the `versions.cmake` default was never changed. Something is missing in the release checklist to change that for the `release` branch. @vbolea @cory.quammen

Hi @ben.boeckel

I am happy to report that for the qt build **+ install** , the following works

I have also launch paraview and tested with wavelet source and some volume rendering.

```auto
cmake \
    -D ENABLE_catalyst=OFF \
    -D ENABLE_qt5=ON \
    -D ENABLE_python3=ON \
    -D ENABLE_mpi=ON \
    -D ENABLE_paraview=ON \
    -D paraview_SOURCE_SELECTION=5.10.1 \
    -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$HOME/systems/ParaView/5.10.1-qt \
    -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release \
    -G Ninja \
    ../paraview-superbuild_git

```

I am proceeding to repeat this with osmesa and will report back here

Cheers
