load images without converting them using WiiBuilder [GRRLIB]

I dont really want to use WiiBuilder to convert my pngs so how can i do it without having to do that, BTW i have put the png converting code snippet into my makefile -> no apparent effect

I'm sad you don't want to use my tool :(

I guess this the code you are talking about:

#---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# This rule links in binary data with the .png extension
#---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
%.png.o	:	%.png
#---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
	@echo $(notdir $<)
	$(bin2o)

To use it, don't forget to put you're png's in the data folder.

not saying your tools bad or anything, in fact its very good but i feel it complicates using images in homebrew apps since i am used to not having to create header files for my images.

so do i do

#include < imagefile >

or does it include libfat

If you use the Makefile code, the .h file will be generated in the build folder. If your image was named my_image.png the header file will be my_image_png.h

So just included that file.

size is: my_image_png_size
data is: my_image_png[]

thanks for your help, just out of interest was this info available on a wiki site or some tutorial

I don't known, I found that out two weeks ago by checking the sources of a project.

oh ok, thats a shame since i would prefer to use actual docs and tuts. Still, source code still helps
