Question to LZMA support

Post by Herb »

Hello,

I am working with wxwidgets 3.2.1 on a Windows 10 system.
I have built the (MSW-)library with GCC12.2.0 downloaded from winlibs.

Now I need LZMA support within TIFF in order to open/load *.tiff images that have been lzma-compressed.
In building instruction and e.g in file "include\wx\msw\setup.h" is described how to enable LZMA support.

Now I have the questions:
- does this LZMA support only build wxClasses: wxLZMAInputStream and wxLZMAOutputStream?
- does it also enhance libtiff with lzma support.

If someone has experience with this, any help is appreciated.
Thanks for your answers/help in advance
Best regards

Did you check if you can actually load a TIFF image with LZMA compression?
Now I have the questions:
- does this LZMA support only build wxClasses: wxLZMAInputStream and wxLZMAOutputStream?
- does it also enhance libtiff with lzma support.
After doing a quick search in the source code, i'd say the #define in setup.h only affects wxLZMAInputStream and wxLZMAOutputStream
Use the source, Luke!

Hello doublemax,

thanks for your investigations.
It is a pity that it does not introduce TIFF-LZMA-support.
