PWLib is a multi-platform code library that can be used to write applications that will compile and run on the BSD Unixes, Windows, Linux and a few other Unix variants. It was developed by Equivalence Ltd Pty. It is used by the OPAL library.

The Hoard memory allocator is a fast, scalable, and memory-efficient memory allocator for shared-memory multiprocessors. Multithreaded programs that perform dynamic memory allocation do not scale because the heap is a bottleneck. When multiple threads simultaneously allocate or deallocate memory from the heap, they will be serialized while waiting for the heap lock. Programs making intensive use of the heap actually slow down as the number of processors increases. (Note: If you make a lot of use of the STL, you may not know it, but you are making a lot of use of the heap.) Hoard is a fast allocator that solves this problem. In addition, it has very reasonable bounds on memory consumption.

Liblouis is an open-source braille translator and back-translator. It features support for computer and literary braille, supports contracted and uncontracted translation for many, many languages and has support for hyphenation. New languages can easily be added through tables that support a rule- or dictionary based approach. Included are also tools for testing and debugging tables. Liblouis also supports math braille (Nemeth and Marburg). The formatting of braille is provided by the companion project liblouisxml.

The libnfc provides a simple yet complete low-level API for handling NFC devices and building NFC applications.

VISA is a multivendor standard for interfacing test and measurement equipment. LibreVISA aims to be a compliant implementation of the VISA standard in a free software library. Currently support for targets connected via USB, exposing the USBTMC interface, and VXI-11 devices.

libimobiledevice is a cross-platform software library that talks the protocols to support iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad and Apple TV devices. Unlike other projects, it does not depend on using any existing proprietary libraries and does not require jailbreaking. It allows other software to easily access the device's filesystem, retrieve information about the device and its internals, backup/restore the device, manage SpringBoard icons, manage installed applications, retrieve addressbook/calendars/notes and bookmarks and synchronize music and video to the device. This port installs the library required to handle Apple Binary and XML Property Lists.
