I’m trying to compile a paraview plugin for a system that has paraview compiled as offscreen.

The plugin is

> <https://github.com/Chrismarsh/vtk-paraview-datetimefilter/blob/master/CMakeLists.txt>

Unfortunately, when I try to make this, I get errors about libEGL

> make[2]: \*\*\* No rule to make target ‘/usr/lib64/nvidia/libEGL.so’, needed by ‘libTimeAnnotate.so’. Stop.

If I add the path to libEGL.so to the target\_link\_libraries in the plugin CMakeLists.txt file, I still have this problem.

Does something special need to be done to build plugins against paraview compiled for offscreen?
