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](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?
