1Imlib2-WebP 2=========== 3A WebP loader for Imlib2. Published under the BSD license. 4 5About WebP 6========== 7WebP is a new image format that provides lossy compression for photographic 8images. In a large scale study of 900,000 web images, WebP images were 39.8% 9smaller than jpeg images of similar quality. 10 11A WebP file consists of VP8 image data, and a container based on RIFF. The 12standalone libwebp library serves as a reference implementation for the 13WebP specification and is available at this git repository and as a tarball. 14Webmasters and web developers can use the WebP image format to create smaller 15and better looking images that can help make the web faster. 16 17You may find more informations at http://code.google.com/speed/webp 18 19About Imlib2 20============ 21Imlib2 is an advanced replacement for libraries like libXpm. Imlib2 provides 22many more features with much greater flexibility and speed than standard 23libraries, including font rasterization, rotation, RGBA space rendering and 24blending, dynamic binary filters, scripting, and more. 25 26You may find more informations at http://docs.enlightenment.org/api/imlib2/html 27 28INSTALLATION 29============ 30You will need a C compiler like gcc, make and the following dependencies : 31 32 - libimlib2-dev 33 - libwebp-dev 34 - pkg-config 35 36On debian use the following command as root to install the required packages : 37 38 # aptitude install libimlib2-dev libwebp-dev pkg-config 39 40Then enter the following command : 41 42 $ make 43 $ sudo make install 44 45This will install the webp loader for Imlib2. 46 47Please take advice that BSD make probably won't work, you need to use gmake 48instead. 49
