[sdljava-users] glew initialisation too early in gljava

[Gregor <Gre...@gm...>]

Hi!

I discovered that the initialisation of glew happens far to early in gljava, 
thus crashing any program that wants to use it. The reason is that newer 
nvidia drivers (correctly) don't return a value on glGetString(GL_VERSION) 
unless there is a valid glx context from which this function is called. See 
glxinfo as an example on how it should be done.

The glew initialisation sits in a static block which is executed on program 
startup, far too early to give the program a chance to create a context. 
Maybe you should move that to a user-callable init function instead of 
executing it automatically?

Regards,
Gregor
