VTFLib
This is a Linux port of VTFLib.
Setup
git clone https://github.com/panzi/VTFLib.git
mkdir VTFLib/build
cd VTFLib/build
cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr
make -j`nproc`
sudo make install
You may use the cmake option -DUSE_LIBTXC_DXTN=ON/OFF to enable/disable
support for writing S3TC compressed textures.
Missing Features
There are several features that aren't currently supported by the Linux version because they depend on a legacy Windows library (nvDXTLib). Such features are:
- genratig mipmaps
- resizing textures and generating thumbnails
- generating normal maps/normal map conversion
However, all read-only features are supported.
Dependencies
- libtxc_dxtn for writing S3TC compressed textures (optional).
