Issue Description

During the execution of the util/install_dependencies script, there is a consistent failure to install the libglew1.5-dev package. The error messages indicate that the package cannot be located or found by the package manager, with messages like:

E: Unable to locate package libglew1.5-dev
E: Couldn't find any package by glob 'libglew1.5-dev'
E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'libglew1.5-dev'

Additional Context

I've successfully installed the libglew-dev package using apt-get install libglew-dev, and the project builds without any issues with this package. It seems that libglew1.5-dev may no longer be available or is not recognized by the package manager.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Install latest Mint Linux and run all the recommended software updates.
  2. Clone the project repository.
  3. Run the util/install_dependencies script.

Expected Behavior

The libglew1.5-dev package should be installed without errors.

Actual Behavior

The installation of libglew1.5-dev consistently fails with the mentioned error messages.

Proposed Solution

It's recommended to update the project documentation and scripts to use and reference libglew-dev instead of libglew1.5-dev, as it appears to be a more up-to-date and available package.

Environment

  • Linux Mint 21.2 Cinnamon
  • Package Manager: apt-get
  • Project Version: all versions that specify libglew1.5-dev and/or include it in the dependency-installation script
