Does C have a CPAN-like system?

Question

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

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

Thanks!

Answer 1

No.

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

Look for packages named lib*-dev, where the * is the actual name of the package.

For instance there's lib32readline-dev which is the development version of the readline library.
