ABIC developer info

Compiling ABIC requires some experience with cmake as well as C-Compilers, and also it takes some time (and patience) because of all the dependencies.

ABIC requires the following third-party libraries:

• wxWidgets (>= 2.9.x, http://www.wxwidgets.org/)
• libjpeg ("The Independent JPEG Group's JPEG software", version 9a, http://www.ijg.org)
• libpng (1.6.10, http://www.libpng.org/pub/png/libpng.html)
• libtiff (4.0.3, http://www.remotesensing.org/libtiff/)
• zlib (1.2.8, http://zlib.net/)
• LibLZMA (5.0.5, part of XZ utils, http://tukaani.org/xz/)
• libbzip2 (1.0.6, http://www.bzip.org/)
• OpenJPEG (2.0.0, http://www.openjpeg.org/)
• WebP (0.4.0, https://developers.google.com/speed/webp/)
• Jasper (although the code is actually not used, it is still a dependency, http://www.ece.uvic.ca/~frodo/jasper/)
• JBIG-Kit (2.0, http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/jbigkit/)
• LittleCMS (2.6, http://www.littlecms.com/)
• GraphicsMagick (1.3.19, http://www.graphicsmagick.org/)
• OpenCV (2.4.8, http://opencv.org/)
• Google Test (used for "make check", http://code.google.com/p/googletest/)

ABIC has been linked to the current versions of the mentioned libraries. It is untested whether ABIC also works with older versions.

ABIC includes the code from the following libraries:

• libiff (https://github.com/svanderburg/libiff)
• libilbm (https://github.com/svanderburg/libilbm)
• libamivideo (https://github.com/svanderburg/libamivideo)

These libraries are used to read Amiga IFF (ILBM) files. Since the code is integrated within ABIC, these libraries are not a true dependency.

ABIC requires the following tools to be built:

• CMake (http://www.cmake.org/), a multiplatform make tool
• Unicode NSIS (http://www.scratchpaper.com/) for the Setups on Windows
• wxFormBuilder (http://wxformbuilder.org/) for designing the user interface
• MinGW32 and MinGW64 (http://www.mingw.org/ and http://mingw-w64.sourceforge.net/) for compilation on Windows
• Clang (part of XCode) for compilation on OS X
• GCC for compilation on Linux

For compilation on individual platforms, see the following pages:

• [Compilation under Windows]
• [Compilation under OS X]
• [Compilation under Linux]
