Hallo,
to make tile set creation more easy and flexible I need an image
manipulation library. Primarily there are imlib and gdk-pixbuf but
I don't know anything about portablility of those libraries. Imlib needs
Xlibs and gdk-pixbuf needs at least gdk. Which library could I use that
will also be available and easyly compilable under Windows? Any
recommendations? Any other libraries out there? I need image scaling,
alpha blending and format transformations (RGB -> indexed color map).

Have you checked out imagemagick? It seems to be powerful, but kind of clunky from a programming perspective.


I have no idea what runs under windows. I've only coded for windows twice and hated mfc and visualc++ with a passion.
