Code Generation
A Unix or Mac environment is neded for building GLEW from scratch to include new extensions, or customize the code generation. The extension data is regenerated from the top level source directory with:
make extensions
An alternative to generating the GLEW sources from scratch is to download a pre-generated (unsupported) snapshot:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/glew/files/glew/snapshots/
Travis-built snapshots are also available:
