Does C have a CPAN-like system?

Does C have an online code / lib exchange system like CPAN for Perl, pip for python, gem for ruby?

If not, does C for GNU / Linux have one?

Thank!

Not.

On GNU / Linux, C is basically a "system language"; it contains the kernel and many important parts of the operating system. Therefore the system package manager is used to manage C dependencies.



Look for named packages lib*-dev

, where *

is the actual package name.

For example, lib32readline-dev

which is the development version of the library readline

.

Not official. But clibs looks promising and seems to be quite popular:
