The OpenGL Extension Wrangler Library (GLEW) is a cross-platform C/C++ extension loading library. GLEW provides efficient run-time mechanisms for determining which OpenGL extensions are supported on the target platform. OpenGL core and extension functionality is exposed in a single header file. GLEW is available for a variety of operating systems, including Windows, Linux, Mac OS X, FreeBSD, Irix, and Solaris. This package contains the demo GLEW utilities. The libraries themselves are in libGLEW and libGLEWmx.
GLib is a handy library of utility functions. This C library is designed to solve some portability problems and provide other useful functionality that most programs require.
This package contains modules that extend the networking support in GIO. In particular, it contains libproxy- and GSettings-based GProxyResolver implementations and a gnutls-based GTlsConnection implementation.
GLib is the low-level core library that forms the basis for projects such as GTK+ and GNOME. It provides data structure handling for C, portability wrappers, and interfaces for such runtime functionality as an event loop, threads, dynamic loading, and an object system.
The glibc package contains standard libraries which are used by multiple programs on the system. In order to save disk space and memory, as well as to make upgrading easier, common system code is kept in one place and shared between programs. This particular package contains the most important sets of shared libraries: the standard C library and the standard math library. Without these two libraries, a Linux system will not function.
