```

The steps I did:

```auto
$ cd Desktop
$ mkdir pv
$ cd pv
$ git clone --recursive https://gitlab.kitware.com/paraview/paraview-superbuild.git

$ cd paraview-superbuild
$ git fetch origin # ensure you have the latest state from the main repo
$ git checkout v5.7.0
$ git submodule update

$ cd ..
$ mkdir build4

```

Open cmake-gui.

Browse Source: `/Users/mj/Desktop/pv/paraview-superbuild`  
Browse Build: `/Users/mj/Desktop/pv/build4`

Configure:  
`* Generator: Unix Makefiles`  
`* Use default native compilers`

Enable:  
`* ENABLE_python`  
`* ENABLE_python2`  
` * ENABLE_qt5`

Add Entry → `CMAKE_OSX_SDK= macosx12.0`.

Change `PYTHON_EXECUTABLE` dir to `/usr/local/bin/python` to use `python 2.7.16` instead of `2.7.18` that was giving an error.

Configure.  
Enable → `USE_SYSTEM_qt5`.  
Configure.  
Add Qt path → `Qt5_DIR=/Users/mj/Qt5.9.9/5.9.9/clang_64/lib/cmake/Qt5`  
Configure.  
Generate.

It finish without error and then when I `cd` into the `build4` folder and execute `make` I get the error posted above.

This is fixed in paraview master (and upcoming 5.10)

Oh, Great! Thanks for answering.

I tried the same process with paraview superbuild master and got two issues:

1. Looks like python 2 is no longer supported. Is that correct?  

2. Is this paraview superbuild only compatible with Qt 5.12? I tried with Qt5.9.9 and got this error  

Thanks!
