Install GLEW by running the following commands:
sed -i 's%lib64%lib%g' config/Makefile.linux &&
sed -i -e '/glew.lib.static:/d' \
-e '/0644 .*STATIC/d' \
-e 's/glew.lib.static//' Makefile &&
make
This package does not come with a test suite.
Now, as the root user:
make install.all
sed -i 's%lib64%lib%g'
...: This ensures that the library is installed in
/usr/lib.
sed -i -e '/glew.lib.static:/d' ...: This suppresses the static library.
make install.all: This installs the programs as well as the library.
