is 0 bytes.

Also the it should contain Qt.

Fixed.

We recently dropped Qt5 from the file names as it is common to most packages (see https://gitlab.kitware.com/paraview/paraview-superbuild/issues/78). For exceptions, e.g., osmesa builds without Qt, we will specify the file name.

If you are building RC3 with paraview-superbuild from tag v5.6.0-RC3 using osmesa, please note that there was a patch failure in the superbuild for SWR that has since been resolved in the paraview-superbuild release branch. Please build from release if you run into a compilation error with v5.6.0-RC3. Thanks.

Should all of Paraview (actually, I only need pvserver) now build without Qt, for example with cmake flags:

-DPARAVIEW_BUILD_QT_GUI=OFF -DPARAVIEW_USE_QTHELP=OFF -DVTK_USE_QVTK=OFF

or does the remark apply only to osmesa?

Yes.
