Enhancement: CWEBP without WIC on Windows systems #163

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
For some reasons, CWEBP cannot import EXIF and XMP metadata from TIFF using the 
WIC component of Windows. I would suggest to make a switch where users can 
switch off WIC usageor offer an alternate build.

This is possible when building from source. To do that you could use autoconf 
or makefile.unix.

autoconf will autodetect libtiff, jpeg, etc. along with wic, giving preference 
to wic if available. To change this, post config you can edit config.h by 
uncommenting:
/* #undef HAVE_WINCODEC_H */

There's no explicit --disable-wic currently.

the --disablw-wic switch would exactly be what I want to suggest as enhancement 
to make CWEBP more usable on windows for photographic enthusiasts.
I think this would help to spread the format.
