The OpenGL Extension Wrangler Library

The OpenGL Extension Wrangler Library (GLEW) is a cross-platform

open-source C/C++ extension loading library.  GLEW provides efficient

supported on the target platform.  OpenGL core and extension

functionality is exposed in a single header file.  GLEW has been

tested on a variety of operating systems, including Windows, Linux,

Mac OS X, FreeBSD, Irix, and Solaris.
