[Paraview] How to configure ParaView 5.2.0 to use off screen rendering?

Mon Mar 20 14:16:22 EDT 2017

Hi,
     I've just compiled the Paraview-5.3.0 superbuild with EGL. I created
an EGL dir in /usr/include with egl.h, eglext.h and eglplatform.h (taken
from www.khronos.org/registry/egl/) and I created a KHR dir in /usr/include
with khrplatform.h (taken from the same site).
ccmake already recognized the /usr/include/EGL include path for EGL and
everything was ok.
