Out of memory error.

You may use ninja-mem to prevent trashing when building on system with low memory to core ratio.

To activate use MAKEFLAGS+=" -m75" where 75 is the percent of memory usage when trashing prevention kicks in.

Or simply lower the make parallel jobs in "MAKEFLAGS" variable.

Refers to #731427 #716760

I am getting this error when trying to build this package:

CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:330 (message): The following modules were requested or required, but not found: ParaView::IOVisItBridge;ParaView::VisItLib.

These are not in gitmodules.

I ran into some issues:

  • pegtl is not listed as a makedependency and this throws an error if the package is not installed. After installing pegtl explicitly, this wasn't an issue anymore.
  • Then two subsequent builds (8 cores, 16 threads, 16 GB RAM) a failure would occure.
    ninja: build stopped: subcommand failed. ==> ERROR: A failure occurred in build(). Aborting...
    Rebooting and running with no RAM in use by other programs fixed this. I kept an eye on memory usage during this build. It stayed within 4-6GB for the first 30-40%, but spiked to 15GB around the point where it aborted the first two times (9000-10000/20000). Consider pinning a comment like the one in paraview-opt here as well: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/paraview-opt/
  • So the third build seemed to finish, but I got vtk conflicts at the very end, so it didn't complete after all. Example:
    paraview-git: /usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages/vtk.py already exists in filesystem (owned by vtk)
    I have vtk installed as a dependency of gmsh.
    The community package paraview lists vtk as a conflict. Could you add that as well?

  • @hottea: paraview-opt uses that directory intentionally as a workaround for the vtk conflict. I'm trying to figure out what the easiest way is for me to solve this if I wanna build the latest version. Would changing -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr \ to -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/opt/paraview \ work? Also if I do this I think I'll need to add paraview to PATH as is done at the end of the PKGBUILD file for paraview-opt. Thoughts?
  • Furthermore I noticed paraview-opt uses -DVTK_MODULE_ENABLE_VTK_IOGDAL=YES \ and -DVTK_MODULE_ENABLE_VTK_IOPDAL=YES \ which is discussed here if you want to look into it: https://discourse.vtk.org/t/vtkiogdal-and-vtkiogeojson/103, but I'm not sure it's relevant. Just comparing both build files.

@Archange : Thanks, I've updated the package.

@gpettinello: You’re issue has been fixed upstream.

@GloW: There has been some changes, qt5-svg is a new dependency, DPARAVIEW_USE_PYTHON=ON replaced DPARAVIEW_ENABLE_PYTHON=ON, system pugixml can now be used and there has been a nice simplification in using system dependencies in general: https://git.archlinux.org/svntogit/community.git/commit/trunk?h=packages/paraview&id=701484f3e63e010eeb229315761bc2d12f11f562.

@GloW I'm so sorry. I mean the paraview-opt pkg, not paraview-git.

$ pacman -Ql paraview-git | grep desktop
paraview-git /usr/share/applications/org.paraview.ParaView.desktop

Nothing is installed in /opt/

hottea commented on 2019-12-19 14:18 (UTC)

The desktop file is installed to /opt/paraview/share/applications/org.paraview.ParaView.desktop. This is not a proper place. GNOME could not find paraview. We should install it to /usr/share/applications. And the icon image should be installed to proper location too. We cannot simply install everything to /opt.
