Thank you T.J! I think I understand what the paraview-config does(and it’s awesome). How would I know which library keywords(vtkPVPythonCatalyst, vtkUtilitiesPythonInitializer,etc) that I need to specify? Is there a list maintained somewhere of the available options? Also, your example provides the method for obtaining the library list to link to. Is there a way to get the list of header files to include with the –I flag in a Makefile?

An example of how to do this is something like this: ifeq "$(USE_PARAVIEW)" "true" PARAVIEW_CONFIG = $(PARAVIEW)/bin/paraview-config LIBS += $(shell $(PARAVIEW_CONFIG) --libs --python vtkPVPythonCatalyst vtkPVServerManagerRendering vtkUtilitiesPythonInitializer) -lparaview -Lparaview_catalyst/Adaptor-build -lMPASAdaptor endif I should mention, it is much easier to use CMake ;) Sincerely, T.J.

Your suggestions has resolved the VTK issue. I did not know that it was a submodule. I just learned that submodules exist from this actually haha. I see that the examples for Catalyst are under the Paraview source tree. I was able to get Paraview to build with Catalyst. I compiled the examples using cmake -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH~/software/ParaView_build -DBUILD_FORTRAN_EXAMPLES:BOOL=ON ~/ParaView/Examples/Catalyst/ That seems to build all of the examples without throwing any errors. Now if I have a small C++ code that I have written that I want to try and link with the Catalyst headers and library files, is there a way to figure out what the command that was used to build the example cases was so that I can copy it? Reading the makefiles that are generated by cmake hasn’t been too helpful for me i.e. I can’t find the –L and –I sections of the compile statement that pulls the libraries and headers together. The end-game for me is to be able to write an adaptor for a simulation code to allow it to utilize the Catalyst functions. This code uses a standard make process, and so I would like to try and avoid having to re-cast the entire build process to cmake. Thank you, Chris From: "T.J.

It is a subset of ParaView that is used for in situ processing. The concept of the editions is that the subset of interest differs based on the desired in situ processing and linking your simulation code to all of ParaView Catalyst can take up a significant amount of memory. Hopefully the blog post at https://blog.kitware.com/paraview-catalyst-editions-what-are-they/ may clear up your confusion.

If you're just getting started though I would recommend doing a build of ParaView without the GUI. Yes this will require learning a bit of CMake (see instructions for building ParaView at http://www.paraview.org/Wiki/ParaView:Build_And_Install) but it will likely be smoother for you for understanding Catalyst's capabilities. Also, it's much easier to link a simulation code with Catalyst through CMake than specifying all of the include directories and libraries. When you're looking for a lean build of Catalyst on an HPC machine then I'd suggest going the edition route (the editions help avoid cross-compilation issues on HPC machines too).

I understand that there are ‘Editions’ of the Catalyst library that vary in the amount of functions that are included from the Paraview library. That’s about the extent of my knowledge about the actual source for the Catalyst library. The documentation that I have found for compiling Catalyst is a bit dated(~3 years old), and I haven’t been able to locate an up-to-date set of documents that detail the compilation procedure for building Catalyst. If I want Catalyst, must I first have a version of Paraview built from scratch on my system? The best documentation that I have found for building Paraview is (http://www.paraview.org/Wiki/ParaView:Build_And_Install#Download_ParaView_Source_Code), and I’m having trouble getting Paraview to build from the instructions(I’ve never used cmake before). Has anyone who has successfully built the Catalyst library or knows about the process lend me any tips about how I should approach building Catalyst?
