Yeah, this probably won't work. There has been some effort in the past to
provide a proper ParaView SDK so you could build plugins  that would run
with Kitware's ParaView binaries, but that isn't currently available.

My bet would be that you got lucky :-) I would expect it to not work.

Again, I don't expect this to run in Kitware's ParaView binaries unless
your compiler, built options, dependent library versions, etc., all match
up exactly with Kitware's build configuration.

Your plugin will run with the 5.4.1 you build, however.

Best,
Cory
