I figured it out, i looked at the source code of the `SDL_video.c`, and there is the hint u have to set on `TRUE`. I broswed like hundreds of pages and it was never been mentioned. Crazy. Ok, whoever read this, just do `SDL_SetHint(SDL_HINT_VIDEO_FOREIGN_WINDOW_OPENGL, "1")` before initilizing SDL. After that GLContext should be set correctly. I suppose this hint came with latest updates of SDL.
