OpenGL Extension Wrangler Library

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The OpenGL Extension Wrangler Library (GLEW) is a cross-platform C/C++ library that helps in querying and loading OpenGL extensions. GLEW provides efficient run-time mechanisms for determining which OpenGL extensions are supported on the target platform. All OpenGL extensions are exposed in a single header file, which is machine-generated from the official extension list. GLEW is available for a variety of operating systems, including Windows, Linux, Mac OS X, FreeBSD, IRIX, and Solaris.

GLEW is distributed under modified BSD licenses, including the generator.
