paraview-superbuild for optix ppc64le

ParaView Support
1

I am trying to compile paraview on a P9 (ppc64le) machine (summit) with Optix and I get an error at install time - every compiled successfully. Strangely, the library where it fails dds.so seems to be a i86 library. @ben.boeckel Do you know anything about this.

OptiX is a pre-compiled package. We don’t have ppc64le binaries for it, so we’ll have to disable it there.

3

I downloaded the ppc64le from

at the end of the page - a slightly older version. Indeed, I’ve seen its pre-compiled. Strangely, that package has a few intel libraries that cause the problem I am seeing.

4

Ah, in that case, the install routine might need adjusted.

5

Hmm, did you need to do any changes to tbb to support non-Intel architectures?

6

I disabled tbb.

7

Alright, I’ll add in logic to disable the tbb stack on non-Intel since we don’t have support there.

8

Any idea what is going on with dds.so. Seems some sort of introspection that fails to realize that this is an intel library and it should probably be skipped and just copied over.

9

We just kind of assume what we find is the right architecture. If an Intel library is mingled with a PowerPC libraries, you could just remove it manually from the install. If it’s elsewhere, some include and exclude regexes could help.
