Windows/Docker build errors with cmb-superbuild:master

Simulation Modeling Toolkit (SMTK) Build & Install

@johnt That sounds like a difference in the initialization of static variables used to ensure that classes are registered. @aron.helser I don’t see immediately where pqSMTKResourceBrowser is registered with the smtk view manager. Can you point me to it?

In pqSMTKAppComponentsAutoStart.cxx:127

qtSMTKUtilities::registerViewConstructor(
    "pqSMTKResourceBrowser", pqSMTKResourceBrowser::createViewWidget);

I will include @ben.boeckel since he has been drafted into the effort. There is an interesting observation to report:

I just finished a linux/debug build of cmb-superbuild:master from scratch, and

  • The modelbuilder in the build tree works OK.
  • The modelbuilder in the install tree works OK.
  • But the modelbuilder in the package tree has the mystery “missing icons” problem.

Could the fixup-bundle script be hosing something?

I guess I should update our status from “yet another week goes by without a windows build” to “yet another week goes by without any modelbuilder packages…”

After a few more hours working through the code, Ben figured out that the actual problem was that the smtkViewPlugin is not being included when the package gets bundled. So a one-line change to the superbuild will fix it for now. Going forward, we need to update the superbuild to find plugins automatically instead of relying on a white list.
