Little CMS is an Open Source Color Management Engine. This example demonstrates how to get started using LittleCMS by Marti Maria with biicode.
Little CMS intends to be an OPEN SOURCE small-footprint color management engine, with special focus on accuracy and performance. It uses the International Color Consortium standard (ICC), which is the modern standard when regarding to color management. This examples have been tested in Windows, OS X and Linux-systems. Check the Sources:
- Original Little CMS Library.
- Biicode Little CMS block at martimaria/littlecms.
- Github repository.
- LittleCMS Documentation.
In this example we’ll create a devicelink that decodes TIFF8 Lab files using Little CMS. You only have to write #include "lcms2.h"
at the top of your code.
Create a new project and a lcms-main.c file:
$ bii init lcms -L
$ cd lcms
$ # Create lcms-main.c and copy the code
lcms-main.c

Check the dependencies of the project with bii deps:
INFO: Processing changes...
youruser/lcms depends on:
system:
math.h
stdlib.h
unresolved:
lcms2.h
Now, edit the biicode.conf file generated in the project folder. Map your [includes]
to point to martimatia/littlecms:
[includes]
lcms2.h: martimaria/littlecms/include/
Now do bii find and biicode will find the most recent version available of Little CMS library:
$ bii find
INFO: Processing changes...
INFO: Finding missing dependencies in server
INFO: Looking for martimaria/littlecms...
INFO: Block candidate: martimaria/martimaria/littlecms/master
INFO: Version martimaria/littlecms: 1 (STABLE) valid
INFO: Version martimaria/littlecms: 0 (STABLE) valid
INFO: Analyzing compatibility for found dependencies...
INFO: All dependencies resolved
Find resolved new dependencies:
martimaria/littlecms: 1
INFO: Saving files from: martimaria/littlecms
Have a look at your biicode.conf again to ensure Little CMS library was added to your project:
[requirements]
martimaria/littlecms: 1
[includes]
lcms2.h: martimaria/littlecms/include/
Check again with bii deps and now all dependencies are resolved.
Next, the only thing left is building the project:
$ bii build
Execute the binary placed in bin directory:
$ bin/youruser_lcms_lcms-main
Once you execute you should see an output like this one, and a the lcmstiff8.icm
file created into your bin folder:
Creating lcmstiff8.icm...Done
You can find more examples at examples/littlecms, give them a try!
This example is already in biicode at examples/littlecms.
It is simple to run, just open the block and build it like this:
$ bii init lcms
$ cd lcms
$ bii open examples/littlecms
There are three different files in the project, note that all of them use Little CMS , simply by including the library.
Build the block and execute any of them!
$ bii build
$ cd bin
$ # Execute!
