[documentation] Support for 1.7.10 using custom lwjgl patches #62

This issue is mostly just for documentation purposes, in case anyone runs into the same issue as I did.

So I'm playing Gregtech: New Horizons as of lately, which runs on Minecraft 1.7.10. It uses a custom version of lwjgl, which effectively turned this patch (or the similar USE=wayland-only on Gentoo) on Wayland incompatible.

I had to use the bundled version of lwjgl, because of a missing glfwInitAllocator function (introduced in =glfw-3.4). I wonder if @eigenraven can confirm they're using glfw-3.4 in the bundled version.

In any regard, manually upgrading to glfw-3.4, which I'm going to get merged on ::gentoo (with USE="wayland"), using the system GLFW version just works (and is compatible with her lwjgl patches). Wayland native, no patches! :D

I use upstream LWJGL3 following Minecraft vanilla snapshots, currently at 3.3.2, will soon update to 3.3.3. https://github.com/LWJGL/lwjgl3/releases/tag/3.3.2 seems to indicate it's glfw 3.3.8, but I know that the lwjgl teams puts its own patches on top of the upstream glfw here https://github.com/LWJGL-CI/glfw

Interesting, they must've backported/cherrypicked that change, then? Also good to know lwjgl may eventually reach glfw-3.4 too. Is it true that lwjgl is just the java interface into glfw, or am I misunderstanding the relationship?

yes, lwjgl3 is mostly Java/JNI bindings to native libraries, with very little logic of its own
