EasyBMP Downloads

Introduction

The EasyBMP core library can be downloaded here. The documentation is here. Lastly, you can download the extensions here.

Download the Library

This release should definitely work on any little-endian architecture and should hopefully work on any big-endian architecture. I've used it with Pentium 3, Celeron, AMD Athlon XP, Pentium 4, Celeron M, and Pentium M PCs on Linux, Windows XP, and Windows 2000, and on a Sun UltraSparc 4 on Solaris 5.9. Anything that uses standard C++ should work fine. If you try it and it works, please let me know, particularly if you're using a big-endian architecture like a Macintosh!!

What do you think? Feedback Requested!

In Version 1.01, EasyBMP started to separate all code into a separate EasyBMP.cpp file. This means that to use EasyBMP into your project, you now have to add a small step when you compile. (See below.) The benefit, however, is that the code is now separate (which is a better coding practice), and EasyBMP works better with larger projects.

In the past, it was enough to simply include EasyBMP.h in your cpp files and compile your project without modification. This was slightly easier for the novice user, but not terribly easier.

So, do you have an opinion on this? Do you have a style that you prefer better? Would you rather see EasyBMP returned to its origins of only header files? Do you like the way it is now? Does it matter?

I'd love to hear your feedback, and I welcome your emails at macklin01@users.sourceforge.net. Thank you!! -- Paul
