Debian/Ubuntu packages for SFML

[Laurent]

There is a broken dependency in the freeglut3-dev and libglew-dev package which don't let you install said packages and therefore you cannot compile SFML

SFML 2.3 doesn't depend on them.

No need for glut.h anymore? That would fix this problem, cause OpenGL headers can be pulled via mesa-common-dev package. Will check it out. Thanks for pointing to it.

The full list of dependencies of SFML 2.3 can be found here:

http://www.sfml-dev.org/tutorials/2.3/compile-with-cmake.php#installing-dependencies

And even with older versions, GLUT was only needed for examples, which can easily be skipped when configuring the build.

GLEW was used by the core libraries, but we also got rid of it. We are now generating the extension loading code ourselves, with (a modified version of) glLoadGen.

I just want to report that I could not find a way to pull in OpenGL dev headers on Ubuntu 14.04.2 and 14.04.3 as of now. Every package that wants to pull them complains about unsatisfied dependencies with libcheese and libgtk, which seems to be a bug in aptitude at the moment.
Will continue searching for a solution. If anyone has any hint, I would glady appreciate it.
