Compile and run Slicer on a NanoPC-T4 SBC with OpenGL ES support compiled and working.

Objective

Compile 3D Slicer
Run with correct OpenGL ES settings

Approach and Plan

Compile with OpenGL emulation, fix errors as they appear
Run with OpenGL emulation, see if it works (poor performance expected)
Compile with Open GLES, fix errors/add features as needed
