### Fix issue with PyOpenGL-accelerate on MacOS x86_64 ### Linked issues n/a ### Summarize your change. This PR adds a temporary changes to build PyOpenGL-accelerate from source on MacOS x86_64. The source is patched with the changes from a pending [PR](mcfletch/pyopengl#146) in the PyOpenGL repository. ### Describe the reason for the change. Cython was updated to version 3.1.0+ on May 8, causing compatibility issues with PyOpenGL-accelerate on macOS x86_64. Until a pending [PR](mcfletch/pyopengl#146) is merged in the official PyOpenGL repository, PyOpenGL-accelerate will be built from source on macOS x86_64. ### Describe what you have tested and on which operating system. ### Add a list of changes, and note any that might need special attention during the review. ### If possible, provide screenshots.

Summary
On Linux ARM64 (aarch64) platforms, installing PyOpenGL_accelerate fails with the following error:
This happens because the built-in long type is not defined in Python 3 on ARM64 platforms, unlike some legacy Python 2 or x86-based assumptions. This breaks Cython compilation when trying to cast buffer identifiers.
This patch imports
longfromctypes.c_long, which resolves the issue on these platforms.Changes
from ctypes import c_long as longto handle missinglongtype on aarch64.Platform tested
