Hi,
I'm having trouble compiling OpenFOAM and ParaView on a mchine with no Qt and X. I want to set OpenFOAM and ParaView on the server and access the results via ParaView remotely. I'm following the instructions here: http://www.openfoam.org/download/source.php OpenFOAM builds OK. The problem arises when trying to compile ParaView. In $WM_THIRD_PARTY_DIR/makeParaView I set withQT=false. It then doesn't build the gui support. The problem arises when it starts to build TestingDemo. Here's the output: Code:
Scanning dependencies of target TestingDemo [ 86%] Building CXX object Qt/Testing/Examples/CMakeFiles/TestingDemo.dir/TestingDemo.cxx.o [ 86%] Building CXX object Qt/Testing/Examples/CMakeFiles/TestingDemo.dir/moc_TestingDemo.cxx.o Linking CXX executable ../../../bin/TestingDemo [ 86%] Built target TestingDemo [ 86%] Building CXX object Qt/Widgets/CMakeFiles/pqWidgets.dir/pqHelpWindow.cxx.o /temp/saso/OpenFOAM/ThirdParty-2.2.2/ParaView-3.12.0/Qt/Widgets/pqHelpWindow.cxx:36:23: fatal error: QHelpEngine: No such file or directory compilation terminated. make[2]: *** [Qt/Widgets/CMakeFiles/pqWidgets.dir/pqHelpWindow.cxx.o] Error 1 make[1]: *** [Qt/Widgets/CMakeFiles/pqWidgets.dir/all] Error 2 make: *** [all] Error 2 --- Installation complete for paraview-3.12.0 Set environment variables: export ParaView_DIR=/temp/saso//OpenFOAM/ThirdParty-2.2.2/platforms/linux64Gcc/paraview-3.12.0 export PATH=$ParaView_DIR/bin:$PATH export PV_PLUGIN_PATH=$FOAM_LIBBIN/paraview-3.12 --- Done What am I to do? Thanks, Sasha |

Hi Sasha,
for the GUI I think PV needs the QT libraries. You can compile it by yourself and set the path to it. I would use the source code of the official homepage or the binaries. Regards Tobi Last edited by Tobi; October 24, 2013 at 13:34. |

Hi,
so you would compile PV on the server use the GUI on your local machine? Why dont you compile PV with QT on your local machine ? (thats the way I do) |

I'd compile PV on both (remote and local) and run it as server/client. If I'd compile only on local then I'd have to copy OpenFOAM files back and forth all the time to view the results.

Greetings to all!
I haven't done this in a long time (since 1.6.x). And I know I saw a report on the bug tracker about this... ah, here we go: http://www.openfoam.org/mantisbt/view.php?id=793 (edit: changes necessary are shown in the "Steps To Reproduce" section) I'm going to try and have a go at this today or tomorrow and I'll report back. Best regards, Bruno
