Freeglut is a completely Free/OpenSourced alternative to the OpenGL Utility Toolkit (GLUT) library. GLUT was originally written by Mark Kilgard to support the sample programs in the second edition OpenGL RedBook. Since then, GLUT has been used in a wide variety of practical applications because it is simple, widely available and highly portable.

GLUT (and hence freeglut) allows the user to create and manage windows containing OpenGL contexts on a wide range of platforms and also read the mouse, keyboard and joystick functions. Freeglut is released under the X-Consortium license.

GLFW is a library for OpenGL, OpenGL ES and Vulkan development for desktop computers. It provides a simple API for creating windows, contexts and surfaces, receiving input and events.

sdbus-c++ is a high-level C++ D-Bus library designed to provide easy-to-use yet powerful API in modern C++. It adds another layer of abstraction on top of sd-bus, the C D-Bus implementation by systemd.

GLib provides the core application building blocks for libraries and applications written in C. It provides the core object system used in GNOME, the main loop implementation, and a large set of utility functions for strings and common data structures.

Intltool is a set of tools to centralise translations of many different file formats using GNU gettext-compatible PO files.

The intltool collection can be used to do these things:

Extract translatable strings from various source files (.xml.in, glade, .desktop.in, .server.in, .oaf.in).

Collect the extracted strings together with messages from traditional source files (.c, .h) in po/$(PACKAGE).pot.

Merge back the translations from .po files into .xml, .desktop and oaf files. This merge step will happen at build resp. installation time.

D-Bus is a message bus system, a simple way for applications to talk to one another. In addition to interprocess communication, D-Bus helps coordinate process lifecycle; it makes it simple and reliable to code a "single instance" application or daemon, and to launch applications and daemons on demand when their services are needed.

D-Bus supplies both a system daemon (for events such as "new hardware device added" or "printer queue changed") and a per-user-login-session daemon (for general IPC needs among user applications). Also, the message bus is built on top of a general one-to-one message passing framework, which can be used by any two apps to communicate directly (without going through the message bus daemon). Currently the communicating applications are on one computer, or through unencrypted TCP/IP suitable for use behind a firewall with shared NFS home directories.

Dex provides Future-based programming for GLib-based applications.

It both integrates with and brings new features for application and library authors who want to manage concurrent code.

Dex also provides Fibers which allow writing synchronous looking code in C that uses asynchronous and future-based APIs.

cppgir processes .gir files derived from GObject introspection annotations into a set of C++ files defining suitable namespaces, classes and other types that together form a C++ binding.

ITS Tool allows you to translate your XML documents with PO files, using rules from the W3C Internationalization Tag Set (ITS) to determine what to translate and how to separate it into PO file messages.

PO files are the standard translation format for GNU and other Unix-like systems. They present translatable information as discrete messages, allowing each message to be translated independently. In contrast to whole-page translation, translating with a message-based format like PO means you can easily track changes to the source document down to the paragraph. When new strings are added or existing strings are modified, you only need to update the corresponding messages.

ITS Tool is designed to make XML documents translatable through PO files by applying standard ITS rules, as well as extension rules specific to ITS Tool. ITS also provides an industry standard way for authors to override translation information in their documents, such as whether a particular element should be translated.

Telepathy is a flexible, modular communications framework that enables real-time communication over D-Bus via pluggable protocol backends. Telepathy is a communications service that can be accessed by many applications simultaneously.

This package provides the library for GLib applications.

This module provides perl access to GLib and GLib's GObject libraries. GLib is a portability and utility library; GObject provides a generic type system with inheritance and a powerful signal system. Together these libraries are used as the foundation for many of the libraries that make up the Gnome environment, and are used in many unrelated projects.

Libsigc++ implements a type-safe callback system for standard C++. It allows you to define signals and to connect those signals to any callback function, either global or a member function, regardless of whether it is static or virtual. It also contains adaptor classes for connection of dissimilar callbacks and has an ease of use unmatched by other C++ callback libraries.

xdg-dbus-proxy is a filtering proxy for D-Bus connections. It can be used to create D-Bus sockets inside a Linux container that forwards requests to the host system, optionally with filters applied.

GLib provides the core application building blocks for libraries and applications written in C. It provides the core object system used in GNOME, the main loop implementation, and a large set of utility functions for strings and common data structures.

A small little utility to run a couple of executables under a new DBus session for testing.

This variant D-Bus package is built with verbose mode, which eases debugging of D-Bus services by printing various debug information when the DBUS_VERBOSE environment variable is set to 1. For more information, refer to the dbus-daemon(1) man page.

GObject introspection is a middleware layer between C libraries (using GObject) and language bindings. The C library can be scanned at compile time and generate metadata files, in addition to the actual native C library. Then language bindings can read this metadata and automatically provide bindings to call into the C library.

This library provides objects and helper methods to help reading and writing AppStream metadata.

Glibmm provides a C++ programming interface to the part of GLib that are useful for C++.

Libsigc++ implements a type-safe callback system for standard C++. It allows you to define signals and to connect those signals to any callback function, either global or a member function, regardless of whether it is static or virtual. It also contains adaptor classes for connection of dissimilar callbacks and has an ease of use unmatched by other C++ callback libraries.

GLib bindings for D-Bus. The package is obsolete and superseded by GDBus included in Glib.

Accounts SSO is a framework for application developers who wish to acquire, use and store web account details and credentials. It handles the authentication process of an account and securely stores the credentials and service-specific settings.

This package provides D-Bus client API bindings for the C++ programming language. It also provides the dbusxx-xml2cpp and dbusxx-introspect commands.
