Description

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!
