Fail to build ParaView for ARM arch.

ParaView Support
1

Hello,

I just create Flatpak package for ParaView 5.9.0.

But it fail to build for ARM arch.

I don’t have ARM CPU myself, I can only use Github action to build it.

The full log can be download here: Flathub builds

I think the relevant error is this.
It seems VTK have issue building on ARM arch?

Thanks.

ARM is not tested afaik.

In any case this code is for stereo rendering, which of course is not supported on any GPU on a ARM board I suppose.

Seems like an OpenGL/EGL issue maybe? More of a @martink question I think.
