[Interest] Building Qt apps on Ubuntu 17.10: GL/gl.h missing

Hi,

I am trying to build a test Qt 5.9.2 app on Ubuntu 17.10 but get the
following compiler error:
GL/gl.h: No such file or directory.

I know in the past I had to install libgles2-mesa-dev to get around this
issue, but is that still the recommended package to use for 17.10 since it
uses Wayland as default?

Installing libgles2-mesa-dev wants to install a lot of X11 related
packages, which does not feel correct.
mesa-common-dev also wants to install some x11 related packages.

Regards,
