Which CMake Variable need to be enabled in order to build pvbatch with osmesa on Ubuntu 16.04 using cmake-gui? I currently am trying to build it enabling the following:

BUILD\_SHARED\_LIB  
BUILD\_TESTING  
enable\_ffmpeg  
enable\_osmesa  
enable\_paraview  
enable\_python  
enable\_vtkm  
USE\_SYSTEM\_osmesa  
USE\_SYSTEM\_png

I have checked out the 5.4.1 branch from the super-build git repository.

When I build and install with these setting, the only executable that I get in /bin are:

pvdataserver  
pvpython  
pvrenderserver  
pvserver

However, I’ve not found the combination that will build pvbatch.

Thank you much!

`pvbatch` only builds with MPI enabled (`ENABLE_mpi=ON`).
