[Paraview] [paraview] compiling Mesa with paraview

Thu Oct 14 11:34:25 EDT 2010

Just a comment:

If you are building ParaView for desktop use, do not set OSMESA (i.e.
set VTK_OPENGL_HAS_OSMESA to OFF). Set OPENGL_gl_LIBRARY to Mesa's GL
library.

If you are building ParaView for server use (only) and you want
offscreen rendering support, follow Dave's instructions.

After Mesa's latest changes, you need to build two different versions
of ParaView if you want offscreen rendering with OSMesa on the server.
