Hi, Mesa and Gallium3D include a big number of test and sample OpenGL apps. A good portion depends on Glut so it could be built on many platforms. Unfortunately, several samples which demonstrate recent OpenGL functionality call extensions entry points directly, which is not guaranteed to work on all platforms. GLEW library perfectly fills this gap, providing a uniform compatibility layer, and therefore allowing to build these sample apps with very little changes.
To make it easy to build the samples I plan to integrate the GLEW source code directly into Mesa: - include/GL/glew.h - include/GL/glxew.h - include/GL/wglew.h - src/glew/LICENSE.txt - src/glew/glew.c - src/glew/glewinfo.c - src/glew/visualinfo.c This is just the barely needed to build the samples (no code autogeneration harness or documentation). I don't expect we will need to update the glew code, but if we do, we would send the patches upstream. Let me know if there's any issue with this.
