Mandriva also enables glew egl but pulls a patchset from glew GIT head
https://github.com/OpenMandrivaAssociation/glew/tree/master and indeed
if I build glew GIT head (egl build, i.e. SYSTEM=linux-egl) and run
hugin against it it just works and does not crash.
Thanks Andreas for your work testing out glew with EGL support.
I'm coming to the realization, though, that wxWidgets EGL-only wxGLCanvas
may not be ready for prime time, given this challenge and several other
bugs (slic3r-prusa, pronterface, etc). Thus, I'm leaning towards
rebuilding wxWidgets with GLX support (and adding back our force-X11 so
things don't break on Wayland patch). The one challenge with this is that
it will break ABI and thus will require rebuilding all packages that link
with the libwx-gl library.
Any comments or concerns?
Thanks,
Scott
