Hello, I am trying to get ParaView 3.8.0 to compile on a debian squeeze x64 machine. OpenFoam 1.7.x compiled just fine, only Paraview produces some errors.

I use ICC 11.1.072 64bit, gcc 4.4.4, g++4.4.4, QT 4.6.3-1

There are two errors during compilation:

the first one is this:

Code:

    Set environment variables:

        export ParaView_DIR=/home/unseen/OpenFOAM/ThirdParty-1.7.x/platforms/linux64Icc/paraview-3.8.0
        export PATH=$ParaView_DIR/bin:$PATH
        export PV_PLUGIN_PATH=$FOAM_LIBBIN/paraview-3.8
    ---

Done

I can't find what I am doing wrong. I used to compile OF1.6.x and Paraview 3.6.1 on debian lenny and it always worked. Here I did it exactly the same way, installed the same packages etc... Maybe I need some additional package now, which I didn't need with the older versions?

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks

Greetings Unseen,

OK, as for the last error, it's because Qt is split into multiple packages. So, nowadays, by what I've seen from multiple Linux Distros, Qt is split in:
- libqt4
- qt4-dev
- qt4-doc
- Qt4WebKit
And there should be others too, but for dedicated Qt library functionalities, like SQL and such...

Since Ubuntu derives from Debian, you can check what packages are needed in Ubuntu 10.04 and compare with the ones in Debian: Building OpenFOAM1.7.0 from source - starting from post #4

As for the first error, the text you posted is insufficient for inferring what the problem really is My guess is that you still have some packages missing, or that there was an error during the unpacking stage of ThirdParty-1.7.0.gtgz. Hopefully, the link I posted above will guide you to which packages are missing.

And next time you try to build ParaView, follow these steps:

./makeParaView > buildPV.log 2>&1
This will output all of the messages into the file buildPV.log. Check what it says after makeParaView is finished, and if it still indicates that it failed to build, then compress it and post it here!
Code:
tar -czf buildPV.tar.gz  buildPV.log
Best regards,
Bruno

Thanks for the reply.

I installed the packages from the thread you mentioned before I made the initial post, and the errors happened nevertheless. I had most of them already since I knew I need them from my previous experience with the older debian and OF.

I figured the missing qt package is this one, but I had it installed all the time:
http://packages.debian.org/de/squeeze/amd64/libqt4-help

I checked synaptics and the other QT packages you mentioned are installed.

The ThirdParty-1.7 compiled without errors.

I'll post the log once the compilation is done.

Hi Unseen,

Debian Lenny (and Squeeze) seems to keep qmake on a separate package: qt4-qmake.
Without it, the contents of the package qt4-dev-tools isn't visible to makeParaView nor cmake. For example, the last error you had was because this file wasn't visible:

Thank you for that piece of information, i think that did the trick

qmake was installed, but apparently some required packages from the qt4-dev-tools were missing, and reinstalling that fixed the first error (I wonder how it didn't install right the first time ...).

It's still compiling, and I will report back if it worked completely without errors.

edit: it did work, thank you
