No. To write plugins, you need the source code. You also need the intermediate compilation files. To get those you need to build from source. When you compile a plugin you point it at the resulting binary and it figures out where the corresponding source is.
Finally, to use your plugin with binary paraview releases, the library versions must match exactly (ABI compatibility). For that you need to build your paraview with exactly the compiler and library versions listed on the paraview binary build documentation for that platform. David E DeMarle Kitware, Inc.
