1 Documentation for the libegl1-x11, libgles1, and libgles2 virtual

2 packages.

4 Although there are is no standardised linux ABI for GL|ES, there is

5 a “strongly encouraged” set of standard headers, type and linkage definitions

6 supplied by the Khronos group[1]. The mesa implementation provides this ABI.

7 Any non-mesa implementation that wants to provide these packages should

8 conform to the Khronos group's de-facto ABI.

10 The case of EGL is similar; Khronos again supplies a de-facto linux ABI.

11 The EGL ABI is necessarily tied to the native windowing system by the

12 eglNativeDisplayType, eglNativeWindowType, and eglNativePixmapType typedefs.

13 The EGL virtual package therefore includes the name of the x11 windowing

14 system to leave room should further windowing ABIs be standardised.
