Ubuntu 20.04 compile error for GLEWContextStruct

[jesscel]

I was trying to compile mitsuba 0.6.0 on Ubuntu 20.04 machine. I have changed the compiler to -std=gnu++11 for this version of Ubuntu. Previously, I have successfully compiled mitsuba on Ubuntu 16.04 with the compiler set to -std=c++11.

However, on Ubuntu 20.04, I got the following error:

Any idea how to fix that problem in Ubuntu 20.04?

Just try this command: sudo apt-get install glew-utils libglewmx-dev

I fixed this error by using these dependencies.

I've also no idea for this problem for a long time until I saw the issue. That's work. Thanks!
