11424 :: iup gui: Load jpeg

• beckx (orginal) [2024-04-12T20:29:50+02:00] view original

  Hey folks,

  i want to show a jpg image on a button in my gui. I use "IUP Gui" with these bindings: https://github.com/dariolah/niup

  If i load the jpeg on windows - everythings fine and works.

  Under my 3 Archlinux System i get these error and the jpeg is not shown:

  123.jpg: Not a TIFF or MDI file, bad magic number 55551 (0xd8ff)
  Run

  I don't know whom to ask - and i don't no what the problem is - it works under windows 10.

  Does anyone know, if i miss a lib in linux?

  Thx and bests beckx

  Random shot in the dark, is this an endianness issue? I know that Windows and Linux disagree.

  From the IUP official docs:

  "But the available file formats supported are system dependent. The Windows driver supports BMP, ICO and CUR. The GTK driver supports the formats supported by the GDK-PixBuf library, such as BMP, GIF, JPEG, PCX, PNG, TIFF and many others. The Motif driver supports the X-Windows bitmap."

  May be there is some problem with GDK-PixBuf library.

  I would use BMP format , it worked fine with buttons.
