The current version of projectm is 2.0.0

package.mk

which, as far as I can tell, is 9 years old. projectM - Browse /2.0.1 at SourceForge.net

There has been some effort recently to modernize projectm: GitHub - projectM-visualizer/projectm: projectM - cross-platform music visualization. Open-source and Milkdrop-compatible. Especially of note is the effort towards GL ES, which might enable it to work on a raspberry pi?

Would be cool to see it upgraded!

I'm new here, but am happy to make an attempt at the upgrade. Any pitfalls or known incompatibilities I should be aware of?

The version of GLEW being used is 1.13 (LibreELEC.tv/package.mk at master · LibreELEC/LibreELEC.tv · GitHub)

GLEW 2.1 has been out for almost a year (Releases · nigels-com/glew · GitHub). Would it be possible to upgrade?

GLEW 2.0 added support for EGL. There is a patch in the projectm project to remove GLEW, libprojectm-hacky-removal-of-glew-spiff.patch, because of GLEW and EGL didn't work together: visualization.projectm from git crashes.

Might be able to upgrade GLEW and remove that patch?
