Headless only build

[defunctzombie]

Is there a way to build webots for headless only mode? i.e. no GUI/Qt stuff required to build and only the simulator and server components to run existing worlds?

No, currently it is not possible to build Webots in headless mode.
But we have some starting options to limit the interference of the GUI while running Webots:

• --batch: Prevent Webots from creating blocking pop-up windows.
• --minimize: Minimize the Webots window on startup.
• --no-rendering: Disable rendering in the main 3D view.
