The tedious compiling from VTK source is gone by the help of ParaView 3.8.0 developer distribution. By simply installing ParaView 3.8.0 developer distribution, we can develop C++ program with VTK, run VTK python script in external python interpreter, and extending ParaView.
This document is based on Windows 32bit OS, and ParaView 3.8.0 developer distribution(ParaView-Development-3.8.0-Win32-x86.exe). The compiler should be Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 SP1 (MSVC 2008), which is used compiling the distribution.
Three prerequisites are DirectX SDK, Qt, and Python distributions. The tested versions are
- MS DirectX SDK (June 2010)
- Qt 4.6.3 (qt-win-opensource-4.6.3-vs2008.exe [1])
- Python 2.6.5 (python-2.6.5.msi [2])
At the end of setup, we can get the following directory tree.
- c:/ParaView/3.8.0/Dev : Installation direction of ParaView developer distribution
- c:/ParaView/3.8.0/SRC : ParaView source directory
- c:/ParaView/3.8.0/ParaViewData : ParaView sample data directory
- c:/ParaView/3.8.0/VTKData : VTK sample data directory
The setup procedure are as followings:
STEP 1. Download ParaView 3.8.0 developer distribution, source distribution, data and help files
- ParaView-Development-3.8.0-Win32-x86.exe, ParaView-3.8.0.zip, ParaViewData-3.8.0.zip, ParaView3-html.tar.gz [3]
- vtkdata-5.6.0.zip, vtkDocHtml-5.6.0.tar.gz [4]
STEP 2. Install ParaView-Development-3.8.0-Win32-x86.exe to C:/ParaView/3.8.0/Dev
STEP 3. Unzip ParaView-3.8.0.zip to c:/ParaView/3.8.0/SRC
STEP 4. Unzip ParaViewData-3.8.0.zip to c:/ParaView/3.8.0/ParaViewData
STEP 5. Unzip vtkdata-5.6.0.zip to c:/ParaView/3.8.0/VTKData
The directory tree is completed. Next some cmake setting file should be edited for the prerequisites. In VTKConfig.cmake, VTKConfigQt.cmake and VTKLibraryDepends.cmake, which can be found in Dev/Lib/ParaView-3.8.0, modify followings:
- C:/Python/Python26-x86 -> C:/Python26
- C:/qt/qt-4.6.2-x86 -> C:/Qt/4.6.3
- C:/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft DirectX SDK (February 2010) -> C:/Program Files/Microsoft DirectX SDK (June 2010)
