[tuhopuu-devel] Request permission

[C Want]

While it looks like this is a fairly
cool lib and the licence is compatible,
it appears the project is dead and the
'windows only' part kind of bothers me.

Have you considered ImageMagick instead?
That lib is truly crossplatform and is
alive and well.

Those are just a couple of things you
might want to consider ...if you want to
include it you are certainly welcome to.
I think it would be best to implement
it in such a way that a developer can
compile it in or not if they want, i.e. using
#ifdef HAVE_FREEIMAGE type macros.

As for locations, I think we should have
a separate cvs module at the same level
as the blender module called, for
example 'tuhopuu-lib/windows'. This
will ensure that there are no
incompatibilities with bf-blender,
and those who do not want to check out
windows binary libs won't have to. A
windows user that wants the windows
binary libs with this scheme would do:

cvs -z3 checkout blender
cvs -z3 checkout tuhopuu-lib/windows

then build as always.

Anyways, those are my thoughts on the
matter.

Regards,
Chris
