Build Instructions

Build with MS Visual Studio on Windows

WinPcap library is needed to build and run NetDMF on Windows.

The development version library, required to compile. http://www.winpcap.org/devel.htm

The auto-installer of binary, required to run http://www.winpcap.org/install/default.htm

Make sure the same version development library and installer are used. The binary (dll) could be built from the source, but it may take some efforts.

• Known issues:

If "XDMF_WRAP_PYTHON" is ON and "XDMF_REGENERATE_WRAPPER" is ON, there will be a linking error of not finding

debug version of python library when building "Debug". This is a well-known python "bug/feature" with visual studio debug build.

The work around currently is to modify XdmfPython.cxx or XdmfPythonNoMPI.cxx in the binary directory, where "Python.h" is included,

 #if defined(WIN32)
 # ifdef _DEBUG
 #  undef _DEBUG
 #  if defined(_MSC_VER) && _MSC_VER >= 1400
 #    define _CRT_NOFORCE_MANIFEST 1
 #  endif
 #  include <Python.h>
 #  define _DEBUG
 # else
 #  include <Python.h>
 # endif
 #else
 # include <Python.h>
 #endif

Build instructions for visualizing graphs in Paraview3

TableToGraphPanel plugin is off and commented by default. In src/Plugins/CMakeLists.txt uncomment the line below and replace OFF by ON (or run ccmake / cmake and turn it on there).

paraview_build_optional_plugin(TableToGraphPanel "TableToGraphPanel" TableToGraphPanel ON)

Update: As of April 28, 2010 changes to src/Plugins/CMakeLists.txt in ParaView is not required anymore. This panel plugin is now copied over to NetDMF and hence became part of NetDMFPlugin.
