Building a parallel version of ParaView on your system allows you to configure ParaView that way, that it uses your MPI library and compiler to avoiding incompatibilities.

If you do not need any special configuration use the prebuild packages provided here (​link)!

In the following we demonstrate how to build ParaView on the example of ParaView 4.4.0 (from 11/2015).
Please ensure you always use the latest version and replace "X.Y.Z" or "X_Y_Z" by the appropriate numbers.

Prerequisites

  • CMake version 2.8.8 or higher
  • Qt, version 4.7.* (4.8.* is recommended)
  • boost 1.56
  • Python is required (version 2.7 is known to work, whereas version 3.4 is known to cause compilation problems)
  • MESA Version 7.7.1 has been tested and seems to work correctly as well as 7.9

All 3rd-party libs and their versions used by kiteware can be found ​here.
