OpenGL实用开源代码列表
有了网络的最大好处就是可以资源共享。网络是最大的知识库，也是最好的老师，正所谓“没有你想不到的，只有你找不到的”。以下是我收集的以游戏编程，OpenGL 3D编程相关的免费扩展库资料。不断更新中，如果你有好的建义，也请把函数库名及大概功能写上，本人负责收集整理。免费共享
SDL
在3D的世界里，SDL可真所胃是大名顶顶，正所谓“为人不知陈近南，自称英雄也枉然”，因此呢，如果你是做OpenGL开发的，一定要认识一下SDL。我们都知道，在windows系统中，有一个DirectX是游戏开发商的首选的开发包，其背后只支持的Direct3D作为三维图形接口。而SDL就被认为是非window系统中的DirectX，而且是开源的。SDL所使用的3D图形接口是OpenGL。但除了图形之外，它还支持对声音、键盘、鼠标、操纵杆、2D图像等等的底层处理。现在已有不少游戏使用这个开发包进行开发。
SDL是跨平台的，目前支持的系统有：Linux, Windows, Windows CE, BeOS, MacOS, Mac OS X, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, BSD/OS, Solaris, IRIX, and QNX
SDL 是用C语言写的，但是能很好地兼容C++语言。并且能被其它语言绑定使用，如： Ada, C#, Eiffel, Erlang, Euphoria, Guile, Haskell, Java, Lisp, Lua, ML, Objective C, Pascal, Perl, PHP, Pike, Pliant, Python, Ruby, and Smalltalk.
SDL发布支持GNU LGPL v2.0 许可协议。也就是说SDL可以免费用于商业应用。
http://www.libsdl.org/index.php
glew(OpenGL
Extension Wrangler Library )
GLEW是一个跨平台的C++扩展库，基于OpenGL图形接口。使用OpenGL的朋友都知道，window目前只支持OpenGL1.1的涵数，但OpenGL现在都发展到2.0以上了，要使用这些OpenGL的高级特性，就必须下载最新的扩展，另外，不同的显卡公司，也会发布一些只有自家显卡才支持的扩展函数，你要想用这数涵数，不得不去寻找最新的glext.h,有了GLEW扩展库，你就再也不用为找不到函数的接口而烦恼，因为GLEW能自动识别你的平台所支持的全部OpenGL高级扩展涵数。也就是说，只要包含一个glew.h头文件，你就能使用gl,glu,glext,wgl,glx的全部函数。GLEW支持目前流行的各种操作系统（including
Windows, Linux, Mac OS X, FreeBSD, Irix, and Solaris）。

C++经典开发源代码
转:C++ 经典开源代码
在如下的库支持下，开发的系统可以很方便移植到当前大部分平台上运行
而无需改动，只需在对应的平台下 用你喜欢的编译器 重新编译即可
经典的C++库
STLport-------SGI STL库的跨平台可移植版本，在以前有些编译器离符合
标准比较远的情况下 那时还是有用的，当然目前vc71已经比较接近标准了，
故目前不怎么用它了。
Boost---------准标准库， 功能强大 涉及能想的到的大部分非特别领域的算法，
有一个大的C++社区支持
WxWindows-----功能强大的跨平台GUI库 ，它的功能和结构都类似 MFC，故原则上
可以通过WxWindows把现有MFC程序移植到非Win平台下
Blitz---------高效率的数值计算函数库 ,你可以订制补充你需要的算法
Log4cpp-------日志处理 ，功能类似java中的log4j
ACE-----------自适应通讯环境， 重量级的通讯环境库。
Crypto++ -----加/解密算法库, 非常专业的C++ 密码学函式库
CppUnit --- 一个c++的单元测试框架 类似 java 的JUnit
Loki ------- 一个实验性质的库，尝试把类似设计模式这样思想层面的东西通过
库来提供,他是C++的一个模板库,系C++"贵族"， 它把C++模板的功能发挥到了极致
学术性的C++库:
FC++ --------The Functional C++ Library ,用库来扩充语言的一个代表作 ,模板库
CGAL ------- Computational Geometry Algorithms Library计算几何方面的大部分重要的
解决方案和方法以C++库的形式提供给工业和学术界的用户。
其它目前我感觉还不是很爽的C++库：
Doxygen ----注释文档生成工具 ,可恨的是 我找不到 windows版本
QT ----------大名顶顶的一个多平台的C++图形用户界面应用程序框架（GUI库）
可气的是他的 Windows版 是商业发布的要付费
xml4c--------IBM开发的XML Parser，系超重量级的， 适用大型应用中， 其DLL有 12M，恐怖吧
Xerces c++ --Apache的XML项目， 但 只支持少数的字符编码，如ASCII，UTF-8，UTF-16等，
不能处理包含中文字符的XML文档
XMLBooster ----- 也是一种 XML的 解析工具
Fox -------又一种开放源代码（C++）的GUI库，功能不是很强
C++开发环境(Win平台下除了 Visual C++ 和 Borland C++以外的)：
Cygwin --------Windows下的一个Unix仿真环境
MinGW --------GCC的一个Windows移植版本
Dev C++ -------- 一个C/C++ 的集成开发环境，在Windows上的C++编译器一直和标准有着一
段距离的时候，GCC就是一个让Windows下开发者流口水的编译器。
Eclipse-CDT ----IMB 开发的一个集成开发环境，一般用来作为Java 开发环境，但由于
Eclipse 是通过插件体系来扩展功能，这里我们 安装 CDT插件后，就可以用来作为
C++ 的集成开发环境
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
经典的C++库
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
以下以 vc71环境 为例，其他环境 见各软件包的说明文档。
1. STLport (SGI STL库的跨平台可移植版本。)
-------http://www.stlport.org
vc71环境中编译安装
版本：STLport-4.6.2.tar.gz
copy vc71.mak makefile
nmake clean all
头文件在 %STLport_root%/include\stlport
库文件在 %STLport_root%/lib
头文件添加方法如：
＃i nclude 需要链接lib库
2 WxWindows (跨平台的GUI库)
--------http://www.wxwindows.org
--------http://sourceforge.net/projects/wxwindows
--------http://i18n.linux.net.cn/others/wxWindowstut/wxTutorial.html
因为其类层次极像MFC，所以有文章介绍从MFC到WxWindows的代码移植以实现跨平台的功能。
通过多年的开发也是一个日趋完善的GUI库，支持同样不弱于前面两个库。并且是完全开放源代码的。新近
的C++ Builder X的GUI设计器就是基于这个库的。
vc71环境中编译安装
版本：wxMSW-2.6.0-Setup.exe
copy makefile.vc makefile
通过 配置 config.vc 的 SHARED = 0 和 BUILD = debug
确定 nmake clean all 的四种编译结果：
include头文件： include\wx
Lib库文件: lib\vc_dll 和 lib\vc_lib
DLL: lib\vc_dll
头文件在 %wxWidgets_root%/include\wx
库文件在 %wxWidgets_root%/lib\vc_dll 和 %wxWidgets_root%/lib\vc_lib
头文件添加方法如：
＃i nclude 需要链接lib库
3 boost (“准”标准库)
------http://www.boost.org/
------http://sourceforge.net/projects/boost/
Boost库是一个经过千锤百炼、可移植、提供源代码的C++库，作为标准库的后备，是C++标准化进程
的发动机之一。 Boost库由C++标准委员会库工作组成员发起，在C++社区中影响甚大，其成员已近2000人
。 Boost库为我们带来了最新、最酷、最实用的技术，是不折不扣的“准”标准库。
vc71环境中编译安装
版本：boost_1_32_0.exe
首先进入 tools\build\jam_src 运行 build.bat 得到一个工具： bjam.exe
将其复制到 boost_root 目录下
执行 bjam "-sTOOLS=vc-7_1" stage 开始编译 （bjam "-sTOOLS=vc-7_1" install）
头文件在 %boost_root%/boost
库文件在 %boost_root%/stage\lib
头文件添加方法如：
＃i nclude 有时要链接lib库
Boost中比较有名气的有这么几个库：
Regex
正则表达式库
Spirit
LL parser framework，用C++代码直接表达EBNF
Graph
图组件和算法
Lambda
在调用的地方定义短小匿名的函数对象，很实用的functional功能
concept check
检查泛型编程中的concept
Mpl
用模板实现的元编程框架
Thread
可移植的C++多线程库
Python
把C++类和函数映射到Python之中
Pool
内存池管理
smart_ptr
5个智能指针，学习智能指针必读，一份不错的参考是来自CUJ的文章：
Smart Pointers in Boost,哦，这篇文章可以查到，CUJ是提供在线浏览的。
Boost总体来说是实用价值很高，质量很高的库。并且由于其对跨平台的强调，对标准C++的
强调，是编写平台无关，现代C++的开发者必备的工具。但是Boost中也有很多是实验性质的东西，
在实际的开发中实用需要谨慎。并且很多Boost中的库功能堪称对语言功能的扩展，其构造用尽精
巧的手法，不要贸然的花费时间研读。Boost另外一面，比如Graph这样的库则是具有工业强度，
结构良好，非常值得研读的精品代码，并且也可以放心的在产品代码中多多利用。
3 blitz (高效率的数值计算函数库)
------http://folk.uio.no/patricg/blitz/html/index.html
------http://www.oonumerics.org/blitz/
------http://sourceforge.net/projects/blitz/
Blitz++ 是一个高效率的数值计算函数库，它的设计目的是希望建立一套既具像C++ 一样方便，同时
又比Fortran速度更快的数值计算环境。通常，用C++所写出的数值程序，比 Fortran慢20%左右，因
此Blitz++正是要改掉这个缺点。方法是利用C++的template技术，程序执行甚至可以比Fortran更快。
Blitz++目前仍在发展中，对于常见的SVD，FFTs，QMRES等常见的线性代数方法并不提供，不过使用
者可以很容易地利用Blitz++所提供的函数来构建。
vc71环境中编译安装
版本：blitz-0.8.tar.gz
将 blitz-0.8/Blitz-VS.NET.zip 解压到当前目录下
打开 Blitz-Library.sln 编译即可
头文件在 %blitz_root%/blitz
%blitz_root%/random
库文件在 %blitz_root%/lib （静态库）
头文件添加方法如：
＃i nclude 有时要链接lib库
＃i nclude 不需要lib库
4 log4cpp (日志处理)
-------http://sourceforge.net/projects/log4cpp/
-------http://log4cpp.hora-obscura.de/index.php/Main_Page
Log4cpp 是 Log4J 的 C++ 移植版本，开放源代码并且完全免费。与 Log4J 能够跨平台一样，Log4cpp
也致力于写出跨平台的 C++ 程序。Log4cpp 主要是用于 C++ 程序中写 log 文件，与此同时，Log4cpp 中
有很多有用的类库，对于写跨平台 C++ 程序的人来说，可以直接拿来用，或者作为自己写跨平台类的参考。
Log4cpp 中的跨平台类库有明显的 Java 痕迹，比如 Class、Object 、Loader、Locale 等类。 Log4cpp
中的类都可以根据类名 new 出一个 instance，其实现的方式和 MFC 如出一辙：通过 C++ 强大的宏来实现。
Log4cpp 中的跨平台类库主要有:
信号类：Condition（broadcast，signal，wait），CriticalSection （lock，unlock），WaitAccess，
Event（set，reset，wait），Mutex（lock，unlock）， Semaphore（wait，tryWait，post）
网络类：InetAddress，Socket，ServerSocket，DatagramSocket，SocketInputStream，
SocketOutputStream
日期类：DateFormat，DateTimeDateFormat，System（currentTimeMillis）
文件类：FileWatchdog（doOnChange）
内存操作类：基于引用计数机制的智能指针 ObjectPtrT
字符串操作类：StrictMath，StringHelper（toUpperCase，toLowerCase，trim，equalsIgnoreCase
，endsWith，format），StringTokenizer
线程类：Thread（start，run，join）
使用以上的类不用考虑 thread handle, event handle, socket handle 之类的 handle 问题，所有这些文
件已经被封装了。很好用，对不对？
不足之处在于没有 GUI 类。ANSI C++ 中对于目录等文件系统的处理功能较弱，这里面也没有目录处理类。
另外 Socket 的 read(void * buf, size_t len) 不能设置 timeout，并且如果读取数据个数小于 len 那么
read 函数将一直堵塞，不太好用，很可惜。实际的使用上面，可以考虑做一个 Socket 子类，重写 read() 函数。
vc71环境中编译安装
版本：log4cpp-0.3.5rc1.tar.gz
打开 msvc6 编译即可
头文件在 %log4cpp_root%/include\log4cpp
库文件在 %log4cpp_root%/lib
头文件添加方法如：
＃i nclude 需要链接lib库
5 Crypto++ 加/解密算法库
---http://sourceforge.net/projects/cryptopp/
---http://www.eskimo.com/~weidai/cryptlib.html
---http://www.cryptopp.com
提供处理密码，消息验证，单向hash，公匙加密系统等功能的免费库。
Crypto++ 是一个非常专业的C++ 密码学函式库，几乎在密码学里头常见的演算法都可以在Crypto++
找到实作的函式，如：block 与stream ciphers，hash functions，MACs，random number generators，
public key 加密...等方法
vc71环境中编译安装
版本：cryptopp521.zip
直接通过 cryptest.dsw 相关的库
头文件在 %cryptopp_root%
库文件在 %cryptopp_root%/lib
头文件添加方法如：
＃i nclude <*.h> 需要链接lib库
6 ACE
------http://www.cs.wustl.edu/~schmidt/ACE.html
C+ +库的代表，超重量级的网络通信开发框架。ACE自适配通信环境（Adaptive Communication Environment）
是可以自由使用、开放源代码的面向对象框架，在其中实现了许多用于并发通信软件的核心模式。ACE提供了一组
丰富的可复用C++ 包装外观（Wrapper Facade）和框架组件，可跨越多种平台完成通用的通信软件任务，其中包括：
事件多路分离和事件处理器分派、信号处理、服务初始化、进程间通信、共享内存管理、消息路由、分布式服务动
态（重）配置、并发执行和同步，等等。
7. CppUnit
-------http://sourceforge.net/projects/cppuint/
一个c++的单元测试框架，可以通过派生测试类的方式，定制具体的测试方案。xUnit家族的一员，
从JUnit移植而来，JUnit是Java语言的单元测试框架。
vc71环境中编译安装
版本：cppunit-1.10.2.tar.gz
直接通过 CppUnitLibraries.dsw 编译相关的库
头文件在 %cppunit_root%/cppunit

挥到了极致。并且尝试把类似设计模式这样思想层面的东西通过库来提供。同时还提供
了智能指针这样比较实用的功能。
该库系模板库，库本身无需编译，在你的工程文件中 引用头文件就可以使用，
如果 你直接或间接使用了small object，那你需要在你的工程文件 加上 SmallObj.cpp
如果 你直接或间接使用了Singletons，那你需要在你的工程文件 加上 Singleton.cpp
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
学术性的C++库:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1 FC++: The Functional C++ Library
--------http://www.cc.gatech.edu/~yannis/fc++/
这个库提供了一些函数式语言中才有的要素。属于用库来扩充语言的一个代表作。如果想要在OOP之外寻找另
一分的乐趣，可以去看看函数式程序设计的世界。大师Peter Norvig在 “Teach Yourself Programming in
Ten Years”一文中就将函数式语言列为至少应当学习的6类编程语言之一。
当前版本：FC++.1.5.zip
模板库,在实际工程中 ，加上要用的头文件 就可以编译。
2 CGAL
-----http://www.cgal.org
Computational Geometry Algorithms Library的目的是把在计算几何方面的大部分重要的解决方案和方
法以C++库的形式提供给工业和学术界的用户。
当前版本：CGAL-3.1.zip
这是一个已编译的版本，当然也包括完整的源码
头文件在 %CGAL_root%/include/CGAL
库文件在 %CGAL_root%/lib/msvc7
头文件添加方法如：
＃i nclude 需要链接lib库
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
其它目前我感觉还不是很爽的C++库：
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1 Doxygen
------http://sourceforge.net/projects/doxygen/
------http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/
注释文档生成工具，较之Doc++功能更为齐全，可以生成包括HTML、PDF、RTF在内的多种格式的文档，
并有GUI界面，除了支持c/c++语言外，还支持IDL、java、PHP、c#等。
2、 QT(windows版要付钱)
-------http://www.trolltech.com/
-------http://www.qiliang.net/qt.html
Qt是Trolltech公司的一个多平台的C++图形用户界面应用程序框架。它提供给应用程序开发者建立艺术级的图形
用户界面所需的所用功能。Qt是完全面向对象的很容易扩展，并且允许真正地组件编程。自从1996年早些时候，
Qt进入商业领域，它已经成为全世界范围内数千种成功的应用程序的基础。Qt也是流行的Linux桌面环境KDE
的基础，同时它还支持Windows、Macintosh、Unix/X11等多种平台。
3、Fox
---------http://www.fox-toolkit.org/
开放源代码的GUI库。作者从自己亲身的开发经验中得出了一个理想的GUI库应该是什么样子的感受
出发，从而开始了对这个库的开发。有兴趣的可以尝试一下。
4 xml4c
------http://www.alphaworks.ibm.com/tech/xml4c
IBM的XML Parser，用c++语言写就，功能超级强大。号称支持多达100种字符编码，能够支持中文，
适合于大规模的xml应用。若只是很小范围的应用，则非最佳选择，毕竟，你需要“背负”约12M左右的
dll的沉重负担
5 Xerces c++
-------http://xml.apache.org/xerces-c
Apache的XML项目，同样是c++ 实现，来源于IBM的xml4c，因此编程接口也是和xml4c一致的。但是
目前只支持少数的字符编码，如ASCII，UTF-8，UTF-16等，不能处理包含中文字符的XML文档。
Xerces-C++ 是一个非常健壮的XML解析器，它提供了验证，以及SAX和DOM API。XML验证在文档类型定
义(Document Type Definition，DTD)方面有很好的支持，并且在2001年12月增加了支持W3C XML Schema
的基本完整的开放标准。
6 XMLBooster
-------http://www.xmlbooster.com/
这个库通过产生特制的parser的办法极大的提高了XML解析的速度，并且能够产生相应的GUI程序
来修改这个parser。在DOM和SAX两大主流XML解析办法之外提供了另外一个可行的解决方案。
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
C++开发环境(Win平台下除了 Visual C++ 和 Borland C++以外的)：
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Cygwin （Windows下的一个Unix仿真环境）
这个Cygwin的一部分是GCC的另外一个Windows移植版本，Cygwin是Windows下的一个Unix仿真环境。
严格的说是模拟GNU的环境，这也就是"Gnu's Not Unix"要表达的意思。
至Cygwin的網站http://www.cygwin.com/下載安裝程式setup.exe，可直接點選執行或先行下載
至個人電腦後再執行。
目前我已经下载到本地了，直接安装即可。
2. MinGW （GCC的一个Windows移植版本）
1)http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw 直接访问的，点击 Files，然后下载以下文
件：MinGW-3.1.0-1.exe, mingw32-make-3.80.0-3.exe。
安装MinGW 到 C:/MinGW 目录下，然后安装 mingw32-make 到 C:/MinGW 下，通过浏览器
到 C:/MinGW/bin 下，将 mingw32-make.exe 改名或者另外复制为 make.exe。
（以上的设置已经足够。不过为了求新，我是同时下载了 gcc-core-3.4.2-20040916-1.tar.gz,
mingw-runtime-3.5.tar.gz 和 w32api-3.1.tar.gz，将它们直接解压到 C:/MinGW 下更新旧的
文件。不过这对这篇文章本身没有任何影响。新旧两种配置我都测试过。）
安装次序：
MinGW-3.1.0-1.exe
mingw32-make-3.80.0-3.exe
gcc-core-3.4.2-20040916-1.tar.gz
mingw-runtime-3.5.tar.gz
w32api-3.1.tar.gz
gdb-5.2.1-1.exe
mingw-utils-0.3.tar.gz
binutils-2.15.91-20040904-1.tar.gz
3)准备MinGW 用户开发的命令行环境（一个批处理）
如： mingw.bat
@rem --------------------------------------
@SET MINGW_ROOT=D:\Mingw
@rem
@echo Setting environment for using Mingw.
@rem
@set PATH=%MINGW_ROOT%\BIN;%PATH%
@set INCLUDE=%MINGW_ROOT%\INCLUDE;%MINGW_ROOT%\INCLUDE\c++\3.2.3;%MINGW_ROOT%\include\c++\3.2.3\mingw32;%MINGW_ROOT%\include\c++\3.2.3\backward;%INCLUDE%
@set LIB=MINGW_ROOT\LIB;%LIB%
@rem ----------------------------------------
3. Dev C++ （一个C/C++ 的集成开发环境）
GCC是一个很好的编译器。在Windows上的C++编译器一直和标准有着一段距离的时候，GCC就是一个
让Windows下开发者流口水的编译器。Dev-C++就是能够让GCC跑在Windows下的工具，作为集成开发环
境，还提供了同专业IDE相媲美的语法高亮，代码提示，调试等功能。由于使用Delphi开发，占用内存
少，速度很快，比较适合轻量级的学习和使用。
可以使用 MinGW-GCC 作为它的编译器
4 Eclipse-CDT
游戏开发

------http://www.galacticasoftware.com/products/av/
------http://sourceforge.net/projects/av3d/
***3D是一个跨平台，高性能的C++库。主要的特性是提供3D图形，声效支持（SB,以及S3M），控制接口（键盘，鼠标和遥感），XMS。
KlayGE
------http://home.g365.net/enginedev/
------http://sourceforge.net/projects/klayge/
国内游戏开发高手自己用C++开发的一个开放源代码、跨平台的游戏引擎。KlayGE是一个开放源代码、跨平台的游戏引擎，并使
用Python作脚本语言。KlayGE在LGPL协议下发行。感谢龚敏敏先生为中国游戏开发事业所做出的贡献。
OGRE
------http://www.ogre3d.org
------http://www.ogre3d.org/docs/manual/
------http://sourceforge.net/projects/ogre
OGRE（面向对象的图形渲染引擎）是用C++开发的，使用灵活的面向对象3D引擎。它的目的是让开发者能更方便和直接地开发
基于3D硬件设备的应用程序或游戏。引擎中的类库对更底层的系统库（如：Direct3D和OpenGL）的全部使用细节进行了抽象，并提供了基于现实世界对象的接口和其它类。
