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

[Carel Combrink]

I am aware of that that was the solution with pre Ubuntu 17.10.

The issue, or rather question is, is this still the correct packages since
Ubuntu 17.10 uses Wayland instead of X11?
In the past Ubuntu used X11 thus those packages makes sense.
Ubuntu 17.10 does not use X11 so to install a dev package that installs
many X11 packages does not feel like the correct approach.

I know this is not a Qt specific issue, but was hoping that the Qt
community had some answers.
