This way executables are smaller, but you have to make sure the shared libraries are on every system on the cluster. If it is a string, it will become an editable string.Clicking this button will bring up the file or directory selection dialog. If it is file or directory, an ellipsis button will appear ('.') on the far right of the entry.If it is boolean (ON/OFF), a drop-down menu will appear for changing the value.To set the value of a variable, click on that value.To see advanced varables, toggle to advanced mode ('Show Advanced Values' toggle).Some variables (advanced variables) are not visible right away.Repeat until all values are set and the OK button becomes available.Set the settings, run configure, set the settings, run configure, etc.Select values, press the Configure button.Some CMake versions will ask you to select the generator the first time you press Configure instead of having a drop-down menu in the main dialog. Also, make sure to pick the appropriate generator (on Visual Studio 2013, pick the Visual Stugenerator).Make sure to select the appropriate source and the build directory.

Use CMakeSetup from the CMake install location.To compile ParaView, either the LGPL or commercial versions of Qt may be used. Building ParaView's user interface requires Qt, official version is 5.9, minimum version is 5.6.On Unix-like operating systems, it also requires Make, while on Windows it requires Visual Studio (2008 prior is supported, though 2013 or 2015 is recommended). The ParaView build process requires CMake version 3.3 or higher and a working compiler.To build ParaView source itself by providing existing installations/builds of the external dependencies, typical for plugin developers and users, use the instructions on this page.To build ParaView complete with all the dependencies it needs, use the ParaView Super-Build instructions.

Based on whether you want to build ParaView along with all the external tools it needs or you want to build the external tools yourself (or use versions already available on your system), there are two ways to build ParaView from source.

HDF5), while others are expected to be present on the machine on which ParaView is being built (e.g. Some of these are included in the ParaView source itself (e.g. ParaView depends on several open source tools and libraries such as Python, Qt, CGNS, HDF5, etc.
