Hi, we are currently trying to get rid of GLEW in Fedora as it isn't [maintained](https://github.com/nigels-com/glew/issues/416#issuecomment-2646570907) anymore. Also GLEW with the last release only supports GLX and not EGL. There are two ways moving forward: * Use [libepoxy](https://github.com/anholt/libepoxy) * Use [GLAD](https://github.com/Dav1dde/glad/), or check out the [webservice for glad2](https://glad.sh/) to generate the files you need! With both of them migration should be straight forward. Thanks for considering!

Hi. For which Fedora release do you expect to remove GLEW ? libepoxy or glad, which one would you recommend ?

On an other project I use GLFW + GLEW, and GLFW is rather promoting GLAD (they use GLAD for their tests). So let's go with GLAD !
