Okay, so I think I’ll stick with osmesa-based rendering on CPUs only.

Should I continue my attempts to do GPU-based rendering through EGL, I will consult the following (anew):

- Superbuild build documentation: [https://gitlab.kitware.com/paraview/paraview-superbuild/-/blob/v5.9.1/README.md](https://gitlab.kitware.com/paraview/paraview-superbuild/-/blob/v5.9.1/README.md)
- ParaView build documentation: [https://github.com/Kitware/ParaView/blob/v5.9.1/Documentation/dev/build.md](https://github.com/Kitware/ParaView/blob/v5.9.1/Documentation/dev/build.md)
- [ParaView: ParaView and Offscreen Rendering](https://kitware.github.io/paraview-docs/latest/cxx/Offscreen.html)

- [] [instructions for Cray-build](https://discourse.paraview.org/t/building-paraview-from-scratch-in-order-to-use-a-custom-plugin/4233/2) might be helpful
