I am a novice Programmer and got mad by not getting GLEW compiled under linux, because of
1) Error messages when i tried to MAKE, which was resolved by running "dos2unix config/config.guess"
2) Error messages
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lXmu
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lXi

Which were resolved by installing Xmu-dev and Xi-Dev.
Seems like these are not part of standard ubuntu.

"dos2unix config/config.guess" - oops, sorry about that.

Seems like makefile dist-src target is already doing the dos2unix conversion of config.guess. Was it the .zip archive you were trying to build from?

We ought to mention the recommended packages for building GLEW on Debian and RedHat, I agree, in the documentation.
