I am learning to build Paraview plugin and came across the following.
I have a dependency on vtkIOCore and the wrapper code is looking for hierarchy txt file
How do I build superbuild so that the vtk generates those hierarchy txt file ?
vtkWrapHierarchy: couldn’t open file /home/nyue/systems/paraview/5.8.1-sdk/lib/vtk/hierarchy/ParaView/vtkIOExport-hierarchy.txt
Cheers

I’m afraid that this is part of the bitrot of the `paraviewsdk` project. 😕 I believe the long-term replacement is to use Spack instead.
