libmilo 0.1.0

libMILO ("MILO"), is a free minimal image loading library written in C. The library is capable of loading TGA and DDS files.

libmilo provides also a general purpose API for loading images as OpenGL textures.

Platforms

XEL is developed under Linux (x86), but should compile under most unix like systems.

DDS support

OpenGL extension "GL_ARB_texture_compression" is required.

Compiling the library

Please see the INSTALL file.

Note: If any of the OpenGL libraries (e.g. libGL, libGLU, libglut) reside in a custom directory, you can try something similar to:

LDFLAGS=-L/usr/X11/lib ./configure && make && su -c "make install"

Examples

glut.c example requires freeglut library (freeglut.sourceforge.net) to compile.

Using the library

Please see the src/example subdir for examples.

e.g. gcc -o simple simple.c `pkg-config --cflags --libs libmilo`

Note: the texture files used by the examples are not part of the source package. You can download them separately from the MILO website.
