Summary0014157: Allow compilation of ParaView with external VTK
DescriptionWe need to be able to build ParaView with an external VTK. First issue encountered was:

CMake Error at CMake/ParaViewModuleTop.cmake:61 (include):
  include could not find load file:

    vtkGroups
Call Stack (most recent call first):
  CMakeLists.txt:495 (include)


CMake Error at CMake/ParaViewModuleTop.cmake:184 (include):
  include could not find load file:

    TopologicalSort

This can be fixed by installing those files. The attached patch fixes that.

Next issue is:

CMake Error: File /Wrapping/Java/JavaDependencies.cmake.in does not exist.
CMake Error at /usr/lib64/cmake/vtk/vtkWrapJava.cmake:162 (CONFIGURE_FILE):
  configure_file Problem configuring file
Call Stack (most recent call first):
  /usr/lib64/cmake/vtk/vtkJavaWrapping.cmake:40 (vtk_wrap_java3)
  /usr/lib64/cmake/vtk/vtkWrapping.cmake:67 (vtk_add_java_wrapping)
  /usr/lib64/cmake/vtk/vtkModuleMacros.cmake:565 (vtk_add_wrapping)
  ParaViewCore/VTKExtensions/Core/CMakeLists.txt:81 (vtk_module_library)

Two issues - JavaDependencies.cmake.in is not installed, and vtkWrapJava.cmake is not looking for it in the correct place. Code is:

  SET(dir ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR})
  IF(VTK_WRAP_JAVA3_INIT_DIR)
    SET(dir ${VTK_WRAP_JAVA3_INIT_DIR})
  ENDIF(VTK_WRAP_JAVA3_INIT_DIR)
  CONFIGURE_FILE("${dir}/JavaDependencies.cmake.in"
    "${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/JavaDependencies.cmake" IMMEDIATE @ONLY)

From vtkJavaWrapping.cmake:
  set(VTK_WRAP_JAVA3_INIT_DIR "${VTK_SOURCE_DIR}/Wrapping/Java")

So it looks like this is just not capable of being run outside of the VTK source tree.

I have started from VTK-6.1.0 and ParaView-4.1.0 sources and created two patches. In this way I'm able to compile ParaView against the external installed VTK.

This is just a try (there are a few hacks that require a better approach improving and fixing the build system) but at the same time many hunks in the patches fix real errors.

Looking forward to see integrated this kind of functionality in the next versions of VTK and Paraview:

- less disk space with only one installed VTK version
- reduced maintenance effort, just require a specific external version of VTK to compile against
