what is the equvalint packages of apt-get build-essential libgl1-mesa-dev in pacman
I found no package with it. Try asking at their Github project: https://github.com/nigels-com/glew

Asking for advice on programming games without an engine
Sounds to me that you want something like SDL with OpenGL.

SharedGL: An OpenGL implementation over shared memory enabling 3D acceleration in virtual machines
The repository is located at https://github.com/dmaivel/sharedgl. The project is very much still in an alpha stage, with large portions of several OpenGL versions being missing. However, it can run demoes such as glxgears and minetest with decent performance. This project isn't really an effective replacement for VirGL (except for on Windows) due to its current limitations, however it does provide some 3D acceleration in Linux and Windows guests on QEMU/KVM. It should be noted it does not provide 3D acceleration for the entire VM, but rather passes through the OpenGL calls from one process from the VM to the host for rendering.
