Dear FOAMers,

I downloaded Paraview 4.0.1 and am trying to use it instead of paraview 3.12 which is shipped with OF 2.2.1.

I was able to compile paraview 4.0.1 - and it works.

I have, however, problems when compiling the PV3 readers - see below.

wmakeLnInclude: linking include files to ./lnInclude

A similar error occurs later:

[...]
../PV3FoamReader/vtkPV3FoamReader.h:62:1: Fehler: expected initializer before »:« token
[...]

I found a thread with the same problem but with no solution (it was with an old version of both, though)

Any hints?

Thanks,
Stefan

Actually Paraview 4.0.1 has built-in OF reader. So you can use 'paraFoam -builtin' command. In my case I've edited two lines in paraFoam script to make -builtin switch unnecessary:

# reader extension
extension=foam # OpenFOAM

requirePV=0

Thanks - that was easy.

I guess PV3 reader comes from Paraview 3.xx ?

Don't know. It can be either FROM PV 3.x or FOR PV 3.x Guess PV changed API in 4.x version which resulted in error during compilation.
