Linking errors for Windows build if PARAVIEW_CUSTOM_LIBRARY_SUFFIX is set
I have noticed some linking errors when building ParaView master on Windows if the following are true:
- Build type is "Release"
-
PARAVIEW_USE_PYTHON
is enabled -
PARAVIEW_CUSTOM_LIBRARY_SUFFIX
is set to something other than the default (I noticed the error specifically if it was an empty string, but the error might occur for other strings as well)
For tomviz, we were previously setting PARAVIEW_CUSTOM_LIBRARY_SUFFIX
to be an empty string during the superbuild. However, due to these errors, I removed that argument so it isn't set anymore, and now the build works. Thus, we don't need this to be fixed for tomviz, but I thought I would still document the issue.
I was using Visual Studio 2019 on Praxis to cause these errors.
Some of the errors can be seen in the attached images.
