Hello, I am trying to first build and install VTK-7.0.0 and then compile ParaView 5.1.2, which should use the installed VTK-7.0.0 instead of building its own VTK version. For this purpose I configure ParaView with the -DUSE_EXTERNAL_VTK=ON option, but I get a bunch of errors.
Before I attach lengthy error logs, I'd like to ask whether this can work at all? It is not clear from older bug reports, whether USE_EXTERNAL_VTK is finally supported or whether it is in some buggy, experimental stage since 3 years. If it is supported, are the 5.1.2 and 7.0.0 versions compatible, or should I try a different combination? If somebody can confirm that this should work in principle, I'll try to solve as many compilation problems as possible before I send the remaining error output for further discussion. The background of my request is that I need to develop a ParaView plugin which links a software tool that depends on VTK by itself. I couldn't find a possibility to link this tool against the VTK which is included in ParaView. Therefore I am trying to first build VTK, and then link both ParaView and the software tool with the compiled VTK. I hope this makes sense. Thank you Corinna
