paraview-build

A repository with a GitHub action to build and package¹ ParaView using the Superbuild on the Ubuntu 22.04 GitHub action runners.

The build is/will be used in the GitHub action which tests the ParaView Catalyst instrumentation in GRChombo. It is built against the Ubuntu 22.04 system libraries so is unlikely to work on other Linux distributions with different library/package versions.

The build has the following features:

• Catalyst Rendering edition
• OSMesa rendering
• Python 3 support
• MPI
• LLVM support
• Release build with debugging info

Footnotes

1. Note that as the Superbuild cpack targets do not currently include the paraview-config script which is required for building GRChombo with ParaView Catalyst in-situ support, the packaging in this action is rudimentary and just makes a tarball from the relevant build directory. This is another reason why the builds in this repository are even less likely to be portable. ↩
