I have found solution for my second problem and described how to solve it in forum post for Gentoo and Gentoo-based Linux distributions. It would be nice if someone using beautiful sentences could describe it to not cause such troubles for others.

I've been following the thread on the forums. Lets confirm here what the steps are. Can you summarize them?

@boydm Sure, no problem

In Gentoo we do not have *-dev packages like in Ubuntu. Of course we have a bit different package names, so we have such requiements:

media-libs/glew
media-libs/glfw
virtual/pkgconfig

Just have read *.ebuild file. If I understand it correctly we need to disable wayland support for this package in order to run it under X window system (otherwise it does not require X11 libraries), so for Gentoo and Gentoo-based distributions we need to add entry to /etc/portage/package.use:

media-libs/glfw -wayland

Also I have found this:

GLFW natively supports Windows, macOS and Linux and other Unix-like systems. Experimental implementations for the Wayland protocol and the Mir display server are available but not yet officially supported.
Source: https://github.com/glfw/glfw/blob/master/README.md

In short for now we should not try scenic on Wayland at least until it would have official and stable support in media-libs/glfw.
