Installation of libraw

Install libraw by running the following commands:

sed -i "s#powf64#dc_&#g" internal/dcraw_common.cpp &&

./configure --prefix=/usr    \
            --enable-jpeg    \
            --enable-jasper  \
            --enable-lcms    \
            --disable-static \
            --docdir=/usr/share/doc/libraw-0.18.7 &&
make

This package does not come with a test suite.

Now, as the root user:

make install

Command Explanations

sed -i "s#powf64#dc_&#g" internal/dcraw_common.cpp: Glibc from v2.27 onwards now provides powf64(). Rename the internal version so that the package will build.

--enable-jpeg: This switch enables support for jpeg. Remove if you don't have libjpeg-turbo-1.5.3 installed.

--enable-jasper: This switch enables support for jasper. Remove if you don't have JasPer-2.0.14 installed.

--enable-lcms: This switch enables support for Little CMS2. Remove if you don't have Little CMS-2.9 installed.

--disable-static: This switch prevents installation of static versions of the libraries.

Short Descriptions

4channels

generates four TIFF files from RAW data, one file per channel.

dcraw_half

emulates "dcraw -h" (see DCRAW manpage).

mem_image

emulates "dcraw [-4] [-6] [-e]" (see DCRAW manpage).

postprocessing_benchmark

creates eight different renderings from one source file. The first and fourth one should be identical.

simple_dcraw

emulates call to "dcraw [-D] [-T] [-v] [-e] [-4]" (see DCRAW manpage).

dcraw_emu

is an almost complete dcraw emulator (see DCRAW manpage).

half_mt

emulates call to "dcraw -h [-w] [-a] [-v]" (see DCRAW manpage).

multirender_test

creates eight different renderings from one source file. The first and fourth one should be identical.

raw-identify

emulates call to "dcraw -i [-v]" (see DCRAW manpage).

unprocessed_raw

generates unprocessed raw image: with masked pixels and without black subtraction.
