Compiling VisIt on Cluster

I needed to build visit on a cluster to read silo files and successfully completed the build with the following command.

./build_visit2_12_3 --hdf5 --szip --silo --parallel --qt5 --console --prefix /home/msu/mowkes/opt/visit2_7_2 

The build_visit script is available from https://wci.llnl.gov/codes/visit/source.html. Additional options are provided by running ./build_visit -h or visiting http://www.visitusers.org/index.php?title=Build_visit_overview
