can't find the xmlpatterns executable

[mayssaEMW]

Hallo guys,

After installing the Qt6.6.0. i'm trying to install the paraview code source but i got this error

CMake Error at CMake/ParaViewClient.cmake:575 (message):
Cannot find the xmlpatterns executable.
Call Stack (most recent call first):
CMake/ParaViewPlugin.cmake:1257 (paraview_client_documentation)
Plugins/AcceleratedAlgorithms/CMakeLists.txt:1 (paraview_add_plugin).

how can i update the Qt installation to support the xmlpatterns

thanks for your help

QtXmlPatterns was removed in Qt6 so either use Qt5 or disable this specific feature. But this is more a Paraview question, nothing Qt can help here.

@Christian-Ehrlicher
thank you first for your response.
i'm asking about Qt because the xmlpatterns related to Qt and the paraview also is based on Qt installation and versions

[Christian Ehrlicher]

But the paraview devs for sure know better if their app can be compiled with Qt6. I would say no since it depends on a library/executable which is not available in Qt6.

@Christian-Ehrlicher
yes you're right,
Could you please send me the link where can i found Qt version 5, in the official site only Qt6 is available .
thank you for your help.

Have you taken the time to read ParaView's Start supporting Qt6??

You still need to update/patch the long deprecated stuff.

• deactivate xmlpattern since the Qt module has been long deprecated.

Could you open to separate merge request on gitlab to fix Qt6 and WSL for ParaView ?

Qt6 experimental support has been merged

Also how does this new thread of yours relate to the response you have been receiving in your paraview build fail because of Qt version thread?

[Christian Ehrlicher]

Install Qt 5.15.2 with the online installer.

Do you have a commercial account? Try to select 'Archive' to see if there is a Qt5 version available.
