Alas, no.

It's something I've been meaning to do, but this is not a minor operation, and time has been kind of lacking :\

Is there a way of using transparency info in the png, to set the transparency of the loaded texture?

You did something kind of silly when you where naming your classes in cldib… In cldib_wu.c and cldib_quant.h you use the WuQuantizer class which is the same name as freeimage which is WuQuantizer which ended up as a what I like to call a naming collision.

The fix is simple just change the name of WuQuantizer to some like this CldibWuQuantizer. This should get rid of the compiler linker error and it will compile to linux just fine. Here a list of files that need to be edited.

cldib_wu.cpp
cldib_quant.h
cldi_conv.cpp line 344

Unfortunately, I'm limited to Windows, so I can't really help much with linux. That's more wintermute's department. Unfortunately, mkstemp() isn't standard, which is why I'm using tmpnam. IIRC, the warning isn't that serious. The slew of errors in FreeImage looks like an improper build of the library, particularly of some of the sub-libraries it uses (libpng and libjpeg, for example). But again I can't built on linux, so there's little I can do here. This is also the reason I can't bundle a linux-usable libfreeimage.a – well, that and I don't know if it'll work for the various linuxes out there. I imagine if there were a one-size-fits-all that it'd have been included in the FreeImage distribution. You may have better luck on the devkitPro forum.

I cannot compile grit on linux:
either it stops with

g++ -s -static -o grit build/grit_main.o build/cli.o build/fi.o -L. -lgrit -lcldib -lfreeimage
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/4.3.4/../../../../x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: cannot find -lfreeimage

, indicating that libfreeimage is only bundled as Windows-dll.

having installed freeimage-3.13.1 via http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=307487, compilations stops with

g++ -s -static -o grit build/grit_main.o build/cli.o build/fi.o -L. -lgrit -lcldib -lfreeimage
./libgrit.a(grit_xp.o): In function `grit_xp_h(GritRec*)‘:
grit_xp.cpp:(.text+0x1a6b): warning: the use of `tmpnam’ is dangerous, better use `mkstemp‘
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/4.3.4/../../../../lib64/libfreeimage.a(PluginEXR.o): In function `C_OStream::write(char const*, int)’:
(.text+0x26a): undefined reference to `Iex::throwErrnoExc(std::basic_string, std::allocator > const&)‘

and lots of other undefined references in libfreeimage.a (complete buildlog at

The makefile looks like you link statically on linux anyway, so how about bundling libfreeimage.a in a usable version as well ?

Seems I misnamed the file, sorry. The link should work now.
