macOS build

[jcupitt]

Shouldn't be too hard, see:

The old gtk2 build system for nip2 is here:

As a macOS user waiting for the homebrew package I'll hijack this issue to place here a wish to have some "visibility" features implemented. I mean not only solve the problem on "viewing large images" but also "viewing image features that are hard to see", like having a button for auto-levels or scrolling between other approaches to improve visibility of such images, that for example have all numbers close to zeros, etc.

oh

You can select falsecolour and log-scale filters...

that's what I need so much.

There's a macOS homebrew formula here:

Though of course it's not a proper macOS .app. It does mostly work, though there seem to be some theming issues.

vipsdisp now has enough github stars to be accepted as a homebrew formula!

Unfortunately it now depends on some libvips 8.16 features, so this will need to wait for summer 2024.

Is there an updated formula? That link is now dead.

[jcupitt]

The formula is still on my vipsdisp branch:

https://github.com/jcupitt/homebrew-core/blob/vipsdisp-3.0.4/Formula/v/vipsdisp.rb

libvips 8.16 has been delayed, unfortunately, updated JXL load/save needs to land first.

Thanks for the quick response, looking forward to it getting mainlined eventually!

[jcupitt]

libvips 8.16.0 and vipsdisp 3.1.0 are out now!

We can now nominate t for homebrew, I've made a PR here:
