I have been trying to build ParaView to test the custom apps examples here on MacOS.
I have followed the site instructions for the superbuild here.
I have had several problems with the Qt build, after some tweaking here is the result
These are the steps I have done:
$ mkdir pv
$ cd pv
$ git clone 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 submodule update
$ cd ..
$ mkdir paraview_build
$ cd paraview_build
$ cmake ../paraview-superbuild
$ ccmake -DCMAKE_OSX_SDK=macosx10.14 ../paraview-superbuild
I enabled the CMake variables:
ENABLE_qt5
ENABLE_python
ENABLE_python2
Then ran:
$ make
First, I got the error
/Users/username/Desktop/dev/pv/paraview_build/superbuild/qt5/src/qtbase/src/platformsupport/fontdatabases/mac/qfontengine_coretext.mm:833:20: error: qualified reference to 'QFixed' is a constructor name rather than a type in this context
return QFixed::QFixed(int(CTFontGetUnitsPerEm(ctfont)));
Which was solved by going to the file /Users/username/Desktop/dev/pv/paraview_build/superbuild/qt5/src/qtbase/src/platformsupport/fontdatabases/mac/qfontengine_coretext.mm and remove QFixed:: prefix in line 833
After that, I re run make and got a lot more errors

It seems to be a problem with qsql_mysql.
Any ideas?
