Details

Description: Currently glew is built against GLX. This prevents it from working under wayland. There should be a glew-wayland variant of glew as well. This can be done by using

make SYSTEM=linux-egl


This would be similar to how there are glfw-x11 and glfw-wayland variants
This task depends upon

Added glew-wayland to [community].

We see constantly bug reports opened about glew and glew-wayland not providing a compatible glew functionality.

I doubt it's a good idea to keep the unfinished glew-wayland poorly maintained by upstream in our repo confusing the users.
Major other distribution don't ship glew-wayland at all and seem to stick for simple glew. We should follow this and drop glew-wayland. There's still the possibility to use xwayland where needed under wayland.

Upstream work is documented here: https://github.com/nigels-com/glew/issues/172

+1 for dropping glew-wayland if it's just being problematic.

I sent an email to arch-dev-public@archlinux.org. I am planning to move it to AUR unless you beat me to it.
