Hello,
I’m trying to build ParaView with Qt and Mesa, and am getting the following build error. Any suggestions? Thanks.

This looks like a Mesa problem. @chuckatkins Thoughts?

Hi guys,
I’m having a similar problem building with a superbuild gallium osmesa with llvm-11 on debian. Did you ever figure out what was causing the symbols\_hash problem? This is one of the top links to the problem on google, If you’ve got a solution it might increase the visibility to others.

This might be related to the default for `-fcommon` switching in the toolchain. You can try the `-fno-common` flag.

I’m also having an issue compiling the ParaView 5.9.0 superbuild with Qt and Mesa, but I am getting a different error:

The Python syntax is incorrect? The mesa package is based on Python/2.7 but because I’m also asking the ParaView Superbuild for the Python3 project, the mesa project is getting confused and finding the wrong version of Python?

You have a Python2 floating around. We require Python3 everywhere. It looks like `mesa` found a Python2 and is trying to use it. I’d recommend looking around the `CMakeCache.txt` and ensure that nothing points to Python2.

The easiest solution to my problem is to turn off the swr driver with `-Dmesa_USE_SWR:STRING="OFF"`. That’s my personal resolution, but in an effort to help others I’ll continue to investigate.
Here is `build/paraview/5.9.0_super_swr/CMakeCache.txt`:
[CMakeCache.txt](https://discourse.paraview.org/uploads/short-url/AtZkeyxB4tZY8Lc2k8V661Ds5Qp.txt) (45.5 KB)
I see nothing in here related to python2
However, in `build/paraview/5.9.0_super_swr/superbuild/mesa/src/src/gallium/drivers/swr/Makefile` I see only references to python2 (line numbers left in for reference):
```auto
1156 PYTHON2 = python2.7

```
This looks like the build is requiring python2 to be used to automatically generate CPP rasterizer source code from python files.
`build/paraview/5.9.0_super_swr/superbuild/mesa/src/src/gallium/drivers/swr/rasterizer/jitter/meson.build`:

Are you sure the build requires Python3 _everywhere_?

Well, the modern one does. If you’re on the 5.9.0 tag, I suppose some things could still want Python2. I don’t recall how much `PYTHONPATH` stuff we do that may mess things up (something certainly seems to confuse things at least by your logs).
I might recommend pulling the Docker image mentioned in `.gitlab/os-linux.yml` (`kitware/paraview:ci-superbuild-centos7-20210113`) or building it (`.gitlab/ci/docker/centos7` if it has expired from DockerHub) and building using the instructions in the CI scripts.
