[Bernhard Stegmaier <stegmaier@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

For OSX glm-0.9.6.3 is available in MacPorts and there seems to be a 0.9.7.1 in Homebrew.
So, shouldn’t be a problem also here.

If it is just about some headers (so, nothing to compile and install) it shouldn’t be a problem at all as long as in worst case there is a CMake switch to point it to the spot where to find it (I had some problems in the past with automatically finding things that are not in the expected folders…).


Regards,
Bernhard
