ParaView build is failed while turning on the BUILD_EXAMPLES

hsalimi · June 4, 2018, 2:03pm

Hi All,

I am building ParaView 5.5 on CentOS 7 using Python 2.7.5 and Qt 5.9.5. While the BUILD_EXAMPLES option is off, everything is going well, but after turning on this option, I am facing some issues regarding “Qt5::X11Extras”. I have also checked the value of “Qt5X11Extras_DIR” variable, but it seems to be OK. Here is the build output:

[ 99%] Built target vtkPVStaticPluginsInit
[ 99%] Build examples as a separate project
Not searching for unused variables given on the command line.

Any ideas?

Hi,

Well, what is the value of your Qt5X11Extras_DIR ?
How did you install Qt ?

hsalimi · June 4, 2018, 2:12pm

I have installed Qt using its online installer script. The value of Qt5X11Extras_DIR has been extracted by CMake automatically and the value is something like:

~/Qt/5.9.5/gcc_64/lib/cmake/Qt5X11Extras

This problem only happens in compiling with Static libs. With compiling with dynamic libs everything is OK.
