[OpenIndiana-discuss] OpenGL/3D application

Ok, I tried more recent version of Paraview without success, especially as

CMake 3.x compiles and installs out of the box.

I have v4.3.1, it requires 2 patches:

1) undef SS and GS in
./Plugins/SciberQuestToolKit/SciberQuest/vtkSQFieldTopologySelect.h
2) ios::cur clash in
./VTK/ThirdParty/xdmf2/vtkxdmf2/libsrc/XdmfValuesBinary.cxx

 and specific compiler options for turning visibility off and add libs at
linking

cmake \
-DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=/usr/bin/g++ \
-DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS=-m64 \
-DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=/usr/bin/gcc \
-DCMAKE_C_FLAGS=-m64 \
-DCMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS=-m64 \
-DCMAKE_Fortran_COMPILER=/usr/bin/gfortran \
-DCMAKE_Fortran_FLAGS=-m64 \
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/opt/paraview/4.3.1 \
-DCMAKE_MODULE_LINKER_FLAGS=-m64 -lsocket -lnsl \
-DCMAKE_SHARED_LINKER_FLAGS=-m64 -lsocket -lnsl \
-DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS:BOOL=OFF \
-DPARAVIEW_USE_MPI:BOOL=OFF \
-DPARAVIEW_ENABLE_PYTHON:BOOL=OFF \

-DQT_QMAKE_EXECUTABLE=/usr/bin/amd64/qmake \

You may add other flags for MPI support and use static linking but then the
binary is 500MB.
Even with dynamic linking the size is much bigger than on Debian.
I can share a tarball with the static build if needed.

Yes they do and also with Intel KMS driver but then performance is not good.
