Summary0010661: Error while compiling with OSMesa (Without X)
DescriptionEven if we ask in CMake to DO NOT USE X (VTK_USE_X : OFF), at compile time we get the following error :

[ 29%] Building CXX object VTK/Rendering/CMakeFiles/vtkRendering.dir/vtkOpenGLExtensionManager.cxx.o
/home/kitware/Dashboard/MyTests/ParaView/VTK/Rendering/vtkOpenGLExtensionManager.cxx: In member function ‘virtual void (* vtkOpenGLExtensionManager::GetProcAddress(const char*))()’:
/home/kitware/Dashboard/MyTests/ParaView/VTK/Rendering/vtkOpenGLExtensionManager.cxx:270: error: ‘glXGetProcAddressARB’ was not declared in this scope

When we look at the cache we see that VTK_USE_GLX_GET_PROC_ADDRESS_ARB:INTERNAL=1

Therefore, I had to change it to 0 by hand to make it compile...

Pat Marion think this may be a bug in VTK/Rendering/CMakeLists.txt. It does a check if a function exists and caches the result, then it uses the cache result even if you have gone and disabled X.
