What is the OpenGL Extension Wrangler Library?
GLEW (The OpenGL Extension Wrangler Library) is an open-source cross-platform C/C++ library that aids in querying and loading OpenGL extensions.
GLEW provides efficient runtime mechanisms to detect OpenGL extensions on the target platform. The functionality of the OpenGL core and extensions are explicitly defined in a single header file.
It can work on various operating systems such as Windows, GNU/Linux, Mac OS X, FreeBSD, Irix, and Solaris.
GLEW is distributed under the modified BSD license, while the header file generator is distributed under the GNU GPL.
