pcx-pixbuf-loader - PCX image support for gdk-pixbuf 2.x. Tested with 2.32.3 and 2.40.0. This is the last version of gdk-pixbuf/io-pcx.c from upstream git, repackaged as an unbundled/standalone project. Retrieved via: $ git clone https://github.com/GNOME/gdk-pixbuf.git $ cd gdk-pixbuf $ git checkout 6211fd86a8c37d64037550473dcf12ec050e4705 The next commit that touched io-pcx.c was its removal. From the git log: commit c8c11b689966b61d098197cd6ffec6e900402db9 Author: Matthias Clasen Date: Wed Sep 23 21:26:52 2015 -0400 Drop the pcx loader This is another rarely seen, ancient image format, and nobody is maintaining this loader inside gdk-pixbuf. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=721372 ...however, some of us may still have a need for PCX support (e.g. for retrogaming/retrocomputing). One way to get it would be to compile the old git tree (or an old release) without installing it, and copy just libpixbufloader-pcx.so to the loader directory. It will work fine... but that's a lot of extra stuff to compile just to get one file. The io-pcx.c found here is identical to upstream's. However I have cheated by creating "config.h" and "gdk-pixbuf-private.h" from scratch, with appropriate defines and includes for a standalone build. Building: $ mkdir build $ cd build $ meson .. $ ninja $ sudo ninja install # prefix with DESTDIR=whatever, if you need to $ sudo update-gdk-pixbuf-loaders License: io-pcx.c is LGPL (see COPYING), copyright (C) 2003 Josh A.
