RE: Prima beginner issues

Dmitry,

Now I have to go one step behind.

use Prima;

   print "$_->{fileShortType} " for @{ Prima::Image-> codecs};

does not print anything.

I guess I still I don't have any codecs.

Now

1. Does Prima::prigraph::win32 give me image libraries.

2. When I type

      Perl makefile.pl while installing Prima. It gives me an error "No
Image Codecs Found". I used to type

Perl makefile.pl WANTNOCODECS=1 and get away with this error. How to get
the codecs. The read me talks about Prigraph dependencies.

I would guess Prima::prigraph::win32 will solve the dependencies. It
doesn't look like it will.

Please clarify.

Cheers,

jis

There's actually an easy way to see whether you do have or don't have

gif codec installed. Run this code:

   use Prima;

   print "$_->{fileShortType} " for @{ Prima::Image-> codecs};

When compiled with prigraph, it should print something like

   Bitmap GIF PCX TIFF Targa ILBM YUV12C Greymap Pixmap IAX XBitmap
Sprite

   PSEG Gem Ras Portrait JPEG PNG

and GIF should be there. I can't think of anything why your installation

cannot load gifs, but can it load pngs, jpegs, bmps at last?
