Looking more closely, it seems like ParaViewSuperbuild does build catalyst, at
least the libs are getting built:
vanmoer@titan-ext3:~/builds/superbuild/cross/paraview/src/paraview-build/lib>
ls *Catalyst*
libvtkPVCatalystCS-pv4.0.a libvtkPVCatalystPython-pv4.0.a
libvtkPVPythonCatalystPython-pv4.0.a
libvtkPVCatalyst-pv4.0.a libvtkPVPythonCatalyst-pv4.0.a
libvtkPVCatalystPython27D-pv4.0.a libvtkPVPythonCatalystPythonD-pv4.0.a
I was able to compile by hunting down all the headers, but not link.
I tried adding -DPARAVIEW_INSTALL_DEVELOPMENT_FILES:BOOL=TRUE to configcross.sh
but I get
CMake Warning:
Manually-specified variables were not used by the project:
PARAVIEW_INSTALL_DEVELOPMENT_FILES
is this because there's no paraviewsdk.cmake in ParaViewSuperbuild/Projects?

The coprocessing plugin, which adds things to the GUI to make it easy to record
coprocessing pipeline setups doesn't need to be turned on since that lives in
the client only. (It is like python trace or state recording, but tailored to
recording in-situ setups).
Catalyst (the stripped down version of ParaView server that a simulation code
can link to and use to run those recorded pipelines quickly) is not yet an
option in ParaViewSuperbuild. To cross compile Catalyst a bit more work will be
required. It will follow the same plan as how the ParaView server is compiled,
but I just haven't tried it. When I did cross compile Catalyst last year at
this time I did the same steps that ParaViewSuperbuild's TOOLS and CROSS build
passes did, just by hand.
Also, for the below configcross.sh, do we need to pass in a CMake variable
telling it where the tools build dir is located?
That should be an option that you can easily set, but it isn't sorry.
CMake/CrossCompilationMacros.cmake assumes it can find it one directory up and
over like so:
macro(find_hosttools)
set(PARAVIEW_HOSTTOOLS_DIR
${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/../tools/paraview/src/paraview-build/ CACHE PATH
"Location of host built paraview compile tools directory")
set(PYTHON_HOST_EXE ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/../tools/install/bin/python CACHE PATH
"Location of host built python executable")
set(PYTHON_HOST_LIBDIR ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/../tools/install/lib CACHE PATH
"Location of host built python libraries")
set(BOOST_HOST_INCLUDEDIR ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/../tools/install/include CACHE
PATH
"Location of host built boost headers")
endmacro()
You could predefine all four of those if you like.
Thanks,
Mark

Hi David,
I just started to try superbuild on Titan also. I don't see you set ENABLE_MPI
to be true in your configure script. Could you confirm whether ENABLE_MPI needs
to be set to TRUE in order for ParaView to run on Titan in parallel? Since my
purpose is to link our
The ENABLE_MPI flag at the Superbuild level is unrelated. It has a purpose only
when CROSS_BUILD_STAGE=HOST, that is when making ParaView binary installers for
desktops from Superbuild.
You shouldn't turn it on in the TOOLS or CROSS stages. Instead let the CROSS
stage use the system installed MPI. It does that by turning PARAVIEW_USE_MPI=ON
when it configures the ParaView sub-build. See CMake/crosscompile/xk7_gnu to
see where it does that, and to see the other flags it uses.
simulation code (already built statically with CMake on Titan) to ParaView
CoProcessing libraries (I am using version 3.98.1) for in-situ visualization on
Titan, so in this case, do I have to set ENABLE_paraview to true and do I need
to enable OSMesa for ParaView to resort to off-screen rendering for in-situ
visualization?
The CROSS stage turns on Python, Mesa and ParaView. Titan's accelerators don't
really run X11, so Mesa is the only option for rendering there.
Although I can build ParaView from source on Titan login nodes, I am not able
to run it on compute nodes, so I am starting to try superbuild hoping to be
able to cross build ParaView libraries to run in-situ visualization on Titan.
I've cross compiled Catalyst itself before on a bluegene. I did it manually
before SuperBuild existed. I will see if I can dig up my config scripts. Cross
compiling Catalyst should be more or less that same thing as cross compiling
ParaView, but a bit faster and easier because their is less code involved.
Thanks,
Hong

Your tools build is pointing to the compiler wrapper that you normally would
use to make code for the back end.
The tools build should just use plain old local gcc since we only build things
at that point that run on the login node.
Try these setup scripts:
I source configtools.sh to set up my environment before I build the compile
tools, and configcross.sh before before I cross compile ParaView.
configtools.sh
#use my own cmake, system one is too old
setenv PATH /autofs/na4_proj/csc035/demarle/pvdev/titan/cmake-build/bin:${PATH}
#switch compiler to compile code for front end
module unload PrgEnv-pgi
module load gcc
#configure settings for to build compile tools only
cmake \
-DCROSS_BUILD_STAGE:STRING=TOOLS -Dcross_target:STRING=xk7_gnu \
-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE:STRING=Release \
-DBUILD_TESTING:BOOL=FALSE \
-DParaView_FROM_GIT:BOOL=OFF \
-DENABLE_paraview:BOOL=TRUE \
-DENABLE_boost:BOOL=TRUE \
-DENABLE_python:BOOL=TRUE \
-DENABLE_portfwd:BOOL=FALSE \
../../ParaViewSuperbuild
then make
configcross.sh
#use my own cmake, system one is too old
setenv PATH /autofs/na4_proj/csc035/demarle/pvdev/titan/cmake-build/bin:${PATH}
#switch compiler to compile code for back end
module unload PrgEnv-pgi
module unload gcc
module load PrgEnv-gnu
#not sure why module load wasn't sufficient, but ended up needing to force
#cmake to choose the right compiler
setenv CC /opt/cray/xt-asyncpe/5.17/bin/cc
setenv CXX /opt/cray/xt-asyncpe/5.17/bin/CC
#configure settings to cross compile python, (mesa - implied), and paraview
cmake \
-DCROSS_BUILD_STAGE:STRING=CROSS -Dcross_target:STRING=xk7_gnu \
-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE:STRING=Release \
-DBUILD_TESTING:BOOL=TRUE \
-DParaView_FROM_GIT:BOOL=OFF \
-DENABLE_paraview:BOOL=TRUE \
-DENABLE_python:BOOL=TRUE \
../../ParaViewSuperbuild
then make again

I don't see a BUILD_SHARED that I can toggle. All of the

Any suggestions?
