Prerequistes to build:
======================

    - a C++ 11 compiler (tested on gcc 4.7 and up)
    - libboost 1.33.1 (Boost.String, Boost.Test, Boost.Variant)
    - libjpeg
    - libxml > 2.5.0 (for the test suite)
    - libcurl (option for the test suite bootstrap)
    - Rust 1.64

If building from the git tree you also need:

    - automake/autoconf
    - autoconf-archive
    - pkg-config for the associated m4 macros

Optional Gnome support

    - gdkpixbuf

## Rust crate

Starting with 0.4.0, libopenraw is developed as a Rust native crate
with a C API. There the standard layout for a Rust crate applies, and
`lib/` contains the crate part to build the dynamic library for the C
API.

Supported file formats
======================

Here are the supported file formats. For details per-camera, see
below:

    - Canon CR2
    - Canon CR3
    - Canon CRW (not those coming from CHDK firmware like A610)
    - Nikon NEF and NRW
    - Olympus ORF
    - Pentax PEF
    - Epson ERF
    - DNG
    - GoPro GPR
    - Sony ARW and SR2
    - Minolta MRW
    - Panasonic RAW and RW2
    - Fujifilm RAF

How to build:
=============

  Using automake/autoconf:

    $ ./autogen.sh
    $ ./configure --prefix=...
    $ make
    $ make install DESTDIR=...


Supported formats:
==================

  Y  Yes, it is there. (Untested as I do not have a sample but the format
     is known to be similar) Yes, it is for the whole format.
  N  Not supported.
  B  Known to be Broken on some models. (Needs to be fixed. Further work
     is required)
  X  Not needed.
  #  Sample file needed.

Test suite
==========

There is a test suite driven by an XML file. It require you to provide
your own RAW files and configure it.  testsuite/testsuite.xml is an
example of valid XML configuration file that works on my local
machine.

TODO2: provide a better description of the test file.

TODO3: fix ordiag to allow outputting a test case in XML.

Running the testsuite
---------------------

$ make check

This will run it automatically.

If you need to bootstrap the testsuite, you can go as follow:

WARNING: The bootstrap will download "random" files from the
internet. They currently aren't validated.

$ make
$ cd testsuite
$ ./testsuite -b -d directory

Here directory is the existing directory where files will be
downloded.  If you build in a different directory than the source
directory, you need to set the `srcdir` environment to the path where
the testsuite binary is build.
