i think its better to turn it off.
I had a configuration error related to Qt, others may also have, i supposed.

Even better: don't specify that option at all.

i couldn't actually found where is it specified inside Candi, but adding

CONFOPTS="${CONFOPTS} \
-D PARAMETER_GUI=OFF \
"

to dealii.package sorted it out.

I have that on my branch already but forgot to make a PR (tjhei/candi@8a1974f)

@davydden all the parameters are defined in project-deal.II.cfg You can turn off PARAMETER_GUI by turning off -D DEAL_II_COMPONENT_PARAMETER_GUI=ON

by default it's better to have it off

For the linux cluster platform, we shall put it to off. For desktop editions I find it more useful to have it on by default, I and some of my colleagues use it.
Candi is designed to have as much as possible swichted on by default, so that a starting user does not have to worry about a missing feature. Later on, one can tweak a personal "local.cfg", which is prefered over "candi.cfg". This is somewhere documented within the "dorsal" part (cf. USAGE file).
I need to update the documentation soon.
The short variant can be found in the repo view (Readme.md / online view: https://github.com/koecher/candi)

Okay, I've switched off the parameter gui by default, but left the option in the DEAL_CONFOPTS.
