Linking to Nitro c++ with QtCreator #139

Closed Kyeiv closed 5 years ago

Kyeiv commented 5 years ago

Hi, i am trying to build a simple app with nitro using QtCreator. I made the following steps:

python waf configure --enable-debugging --prefix=installed python waf build python waf install

Now i don't know how to link it to my IDE and cannot find the answer, can you guys help? using Ubuntu 18.04

@edit i also didn't find any info if the nitro library allows to display a nitf image

There's no built-in support for displaying images, but you could, for example, using the Python bindings to get the raw image data, then use PIL or matplotlib or similar from there. See modules/python/nitf/samples/test_image.py for an example of converting NITF to JPEG.

Never used Qt Creator, so I don't think I can say anything super specific. Basically you'll want to be sure install/include is on the include path and install/lib/ is on the library path. You'll at least need to link to libnrt-c and libnitf-c to get the C library. If you want to use C++ you'll have to pull in basically everything in there.
