= Introduction =

QtImageCodec - image codec for CEGUI, that loads images using [http://qt.nokia.com Qt].

= Installation =
== Compile image codec ==

Download image codec [http://sasha_sinicyn.users.sourceforge.net/projects/ceguiqtimagecodec.tar.gz sources]. Extract it. In extracted directory open terminal and type:

qmake
make

Put compiled '''"libCEGUIQtImageCodec-0.7.0.so"''' from '''"bin"''' to system directory for shared libraries. This can be '''"/usr/local/lib"''' for example. Then run '''"ldconfig"''' as administrator.

== Compile Qt plugin for TGA support ==

Qt does not support TGA image loading, but there is a plugin for it in [http://www.kde.org KDE] that supports doing that. To compile it download its source from the following locations:

http://websvn.kde.org/*checkout*/trunk/KDE/kdelibs/kimgio/tga.h
http://websvn.kde.org/*checkout*/trunk/KDE/kdelibs/kimgio/tga.cpp

Put it into a separate directory, for example '''"qtga"'''. In that directory open terminal and issue the following command:

qmake -project

Open generated project file ('''"qtga.pro"''') and make sure it contains the following statements:

TEMPLATE = lib
CONFIG += plugin

Then in the terminal type:

qmake
make

Put the built shared library ('''"libqtga.so"''') to '''"imageformats"''' subdirectory of qt plugin directory. For example this can be something like '''"/usr/lib64/qt4/plugins/imageformats"''' on 64 bit linux system.

== Configure CEGUI library ==

In order to make this codec the default image codec used by CEGUI before compiling CEGUI configure it with the following command:

./configure --with-default-image-codec=QtImageCodec

Alternatively image codec used by CEGUI system can be changed in the source code of an application:

CEGUI::System::getSingleton ().setImageCodec ("QtImageCodec");
