+GLEW - The OpenGL Extension Wrangler Library
+
+  http://glew.sourceforge.net/
+  https://github.com/nigels-com/glew
+
+[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/nigels-com/glew.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/nigels-com/glew)
+
+If you downloaded the tarball or zip archive from the GLEW website,
+you just need to:
+
+  Unix:
+    * make
+    * sudo -s
+    * make install
+    * make clean
+
+  Windows:
+    use the project file in build/vc12/
+
+If you wish to build GLEW from scratch (update the extension data from
+the net or add your own extension information), you need a Unix
+environment (including wget, perl, and GNU make).  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 sources are also available:
+
+  https://glew.s3.amazonaws.com/index.html
