19. Building¶
In this chapter, we will discuss how to build visit. The building of VisIt
is automated with the build_visit
script. It will build VisIt and all of
VisIt’s third party libraries. It can be configured to build VisIt with a
minimum of third party libraries to building VisIt with all of it’s third
party libraries. This chapter describes how to build VisIt, starting with
the most simple case and moving then moving to more complex use cases.
