Looking for the "best in class" C/C++ open source software

[Generic Usenet Account]

Hi,

I am trying to list all the major C/C++ open source software sources
that are out there on the Internet, to see what all I can use without
re-inventing the wheel. There are two that I know of, and which I use
quite extensively. These are Free Software Foundation (www.fsf.org)
and Boost (www.boost.org). I would really appreciate if someone could
point to other C/C++ open source software sources.

My apologies if this posting is OT.

Thanks,
Gus

Depending on what operating system you use, you can find plenty of good
if not better opensource software.

One good place is Source Forge (http://www.sf.net/). There are alot of
GNU GPL/LGPL licensed projects here.

You may also be interested in C++ compilers such as MinGW
(http://www.mingw.org/), Dev-C++ (http://www.bloodshed.net/) --which is
really just a good IDE for MinGW which comes with Deve-C++ -- And add
on extentions for Dev-C++ to create OpenGL programs with GLUT 3.7.6+
(http://www.nigels.com/glt/devpak/) using C++.

Those are my three favorite picks. You can also run them on a
thumbdrive, which is one of the qualities I look for in a good open
source project: anything that doesn't touch the registry.

Why should it be?

Because C++ is OT on c.l.c. Comp.programming deals with
algorithms, in general. F'ups set.
