Hello
I’m trying to use the vtkVLogF(PARAVIEW\_LOG\_PLUGIN\_VERBOSITY(), “…”); into the plugin (GenericIO Reader) that I am modifying. When I add #include "vtkPVLogger.h, I get the following error message:
> /home/pascal/projects/paraview/Plugins/GenericIOReader/Readers/vtkGenIOReader.cxx:25:10: fatal error: vtkPVLogger.h: No such file or directory
> 25 | #include “vtkPVLogger.h”
How can I enable logging for the plugin.
Thanks,
Pascal

You need to link to `ParaView::VTKExtensionsCore` to be use the header.

…which you add in the `Plugins/GenericIOReader/Readers/vtk.module` file under the `DEPENDS` section.
