From: crispen AT hiwaay DOT net (Bob Crispen) Subject: Some slightly modified netpbm programs 1 Mar 1997 22:44:51 -0800 Approved: cygnus DOT gnu-win32 AT cygnus DOT com Distribution: cygnus Message-ID: <331911E3.5B33.cygnus.gnu-win32@hiwaay.net> Reply-To: crispen AT hiwaay DOT net Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Mailer: Mozilla 3.0 (Win95; I) Original-To: gnu-win32 AT cygnus DOT com Original-Sender: owner-gnu-win32 AT cygnus DOT com Netpbm is one of the most joyful installations an owner of Gnu-Win32 can have, unlike the earlier pbmplus which had me tearing my hair out for a week chasing such mysteries as why a file that called malloc() linked when you *didn't* include . For netpbm, just set the default CC to plain old gcc in the Makefile and (in the pbm directory) to gcc -DMSDOS and there you have it. These utilities do, however, rely on the shell to permit binary stdin and stdout redirection (particularly the latter) which of course we don't do. You may want to take a peek at a few files in: http://hiwaay.net/~crispen/etc/pnmtopix/pnmtopix_src.zip or pnmtopix.tar.gz in the same directory. One of the files (pnmtopix) creates a VRML PixelTexture node from a PNM file, which I'm sure is of little interest, but I added a "-o outfile" option to giftopnm and ppmtogif (which despite its name converts pnm files back to gif) which may come in handy for some folks. -- Rev.
