glewinfo is a command-line tool useful for inspecting the capabilities of an
OpenGL implementation and GLEW support for that. Please include the output of
glewinfo with bug reports, as appropriate.

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:

GLEW is currently maintained by Nigel Stewart with bug fixes, new OpenGL extension support and new releases.
GLEW was developed by Milan Ikits and Marcelo Magallon. Aaron Lefohn, Joe Kniss, and Chris Wyman were the first users and also assisted with the design and debugging process.
The acronym GLEW originates from Aaron Lefohn.
Pasi Kärkkäinen identified and fixed several problems with
GLX and SDL. Nate Robins created the wglinfo utility, to
which modifications were made by Michael Wimmer.
GLEW is originally derived from the EXTGL project by Lev Povalahev. The source code is licensed under the Modified BSD License, the Mesa 3-D License (MIT) and the Khronos License (MIT).
The automatic code generation scripts are released under the GNU GPL.
