<h1>LibRaw Compilation and Installation</h1>
<p>LibRaw is distributed in the form of source codes. For further use, they should be compiled (and, if desired, placed into
system folders with libraries and include-files).</p>
<a name="unix"></a>
<h2>Unix Systems (FreeBSD, Linux, Mac OS X)</h2>
<p>
To build the library, you will need a working C++ compiler (gcc ver. 3.x or 4.x will be OK; other compilers have not been tested) and
the make utility. No other libraries or utilities are required.</p>
<p>
LibRaw has been tested on 32- and 64-bit Unix systems working on x86- (and AMD64-) compatible processors.
Building and work on other architectures have not been tested.
</p>
<h3>Compilation of Library and Examples</h3>
<p>
Unpack the downloaded distribution package, go to the resultant folder and run make:
</p>
<pre>
tar xzvf LibRaw-X.YY.tar.gz
cd LibRaw-X.YY
make
</pre>
<p>As a result, you will compile</p>
<ul>
<li>Library libraw.a in the lib/ folder</li>
<li><a href=Samples-LibRaw-eng.html>Examples</a> in the bin/ folder (source codes of examples are in the samples/ folder).</li>
</ul>
<p>In the current version, only static libraries are built:</p>
<ul>
<li>libraw.a: non-thread-safe version</li>
<li>libraw_r.a: thread-safe</li>
</ul>
<h3>Compilation with LCMS (ICC profiles) support</h3>
<p>
For LCMS support one should uncomment two lines of Makefile after the line
<pre>
# LCMS support
</pre>
It is assumed, that LCMS library is installed in /usr/local/lib or /usr/lib, and lcms.h installed in
/usr/local/include or /usr/include. If you have different LCMS installation path, you should edit Makefile
settings.
</p>
<h3>OpenMP Support</h3>
<p>For compilation with OpenMP support uncomennt line of Makefile next after the line
<pre>
# OpenMP support
</pre>
<h3>Installation and Usage</h3>
<p>To install the library, run</p>
<pre>
make install
</pre>
<p>
It will place the libraries in <b>/usr/local/lib</b> and the include-files in <b>/usr/local/include</b> (subfolder of libraw).
<br/>
To use LibRaw, add the following parameters to the compiler call (when building your own projects):
</p>
<ul>
<li>Path to include-files: -I/usr/local/include</li>
<li>Path to libraries: -L/usr/local/lib</li>
<li>Library: -lraw (ordinary version) or -lraw_r (thread-safe version).</li>
</ul>
<h4>Installation of Examples</h4>
<p>
To install examples, run <b>make install-binaries</b>. This command will copy all compiled examples to <b>/usr/local/bin</b>.
</p>
<h2>Windows: Building under Cygwin</h2>
<p>
Building and installation are completely similar to <a href="#unix">building and installation under Unix systems</a>.
</p>
<h2>Windows: Native Building</h2>
<p>
Building under Windows has three steps:
</p>
<ul>
<li>Unpack the distribution package (if you have got no tar+gzip, take the LibRaw distribution package in the .ZIP format) and go to folder
LibRaw-X.YYY.
</li>
<li>Set the environment parameters so that the compiler/linker would find the libraries and include-files. For Visual C++, this is
done by running <b>vcvars32.bat</b>.
</li>
<li>
Run<br/>
<b>nmake -f Makefile.msvc</b><br/>
</li>
</ul>
<p>
If all paths are set correctly and the include-files/libraries have been found, then the following will be compiled:</p>
<ul>
<li>Library libraw_static.lib in folder lib</li>
<li>Dynamic library bin/libraw.dll and linking library for it lib/libraw.lib</li>
<li>Examples in folder bin/.</li>
</ul>
<p>Only the thread-safe library is built under Win32, but it can be used with non-threaded applications as well. All examples are linked
with the dynamic library (DLL); if static linking is necessary, one should link applications with library libraw_static.lib and
set the preprocessor option /DLIBRAW_NODLL during compilation.
</p>
<p>
Windows-version compiles without LCMS support for now.
</p>
<p>
During building of DLL, all public functions are exported; further, the exported subset may be reduced.
</p>
<p>
Unfortunately, paths to include/ libraries depend on the way Visual C (or other compiler) is installed; therefore, it is impossible
to specify some standard paths in Makefile.msvc.
</p>
<h2>Windows Installation</h2>
<p>
No installation under Windows is supported. It is assumed that all DLLs will be supplied together with the software using them
(and this software will perform the installation). Accordingly, in building of programs using LibRaw, the paths to libraries, DLLs,
and include-files should be specified manually.
