V4.1.0 Released
Version 4.1.0 is now available in svn trunk
New features
# GRRLIB compiles to a proper C Library
# jpeglib has got some bug fixes not available in the official release
# Installer for vendor libraries (jpeg, png, pngu)
# Makefile for GRRLIB
# Many (all suitable) functions are now inlined[1]
# Support for the recent changes to libogc[2]
# Alpha compositor function added
# Alpha compositor example added
# Correct use of pointers (no more struct passing)[3]
[1] Although I have not decompiled a program to double check this
[2] If you are using a version of libogc later than v1.7.1a/svn3649, you will need to add -DNOGUFIX to the compiler flags in your makefile
[3] Occurences of GRRLIB_texImg should be replaced with GRRLIB_texImg*
Notes
After everything is installed, simply put
#include <grrlib.h>
at the top of your .c file and use the functions as normal
You will also need to add
-lgrrlib -lpngu -lpng -ljpeg -lz
to the libs line in your makefile
For a simple example of this (and a much more readable makefile than that supplied with devkitpro) see the composition example
...
More extensive notes on the changes in this version can be found in this thread: http://grrlib.santo.fr/forum/viewtopic.php?id=186

Re: V4.1.0 Released
I am having problems with 4.1 installation process
trunk\GRRLIB\lib\install.bat and trunk/GRRLIB/lib/jpeg/Makefile try to
install libjpeg by copying a precompiled set of files from trunk\GRRLIB\lib\jpeg\lib\wii\*.a
but that directory is empty, even after doing a svn_update, so I think that is a problem in the repository
(seems that those .a files are not in the repository?)
same with trunk\GRRLIB\lib\png\lib\wii,

Re: V4.1.0 Released
jespa,
Thanks for the bug report.
Sorry about that ...it is now corrected - please `svn update`
What happened?
...It was SVN trying to be clever - `svn add` omits compiled objects such as .o's and .a's to stop you accidentally checking in precompiled code
...It was also me being careless - I know SVN does this, and I simply forgot to specifically include these files

Re: V4.1.0 Released
Thanks, it's working now 
I have been able to compile the bluechip/composition example and also some code I am writting.
Please don't forget to modify the Makefile and main.c files you distribute in the examples directory, so every example can be built by noobs.
Thanks for your work.

Re: V4.1.0 Released
I have started cleaning up the demos. There are still three that need changing.
1. composition demo ...directory structure needs to be changed so top-level makefile will work
2. nonameno03 & lesson01 ...require grrlib_addon
#1 is very much my problem ...however, I wonder if the whole driectory naming for the demos is wrong ...using our names to identify the demos is going to get very confusing - how do people feel about naming the directory after the demo inside and then just putting our name in a comment or readme file?
#2 when I did the lib port I ignored the addon code as it is very specific ...so my question is this:
@NoNmaeNo: Are there any functions in the addon code which should be included in the standard GRRLIB library? If so, I will moe them there - if not, I will move them to the demo directory. (Of course we can split the code if required)

Re: V4.1.0 Released
OK...
I have taken a close look at what is in addon.c
This is what I have done for now...
lesson1 : ScrShot() has been embedded in the demo code
nonameno03 : The entire GRRLIB_addon code has been moved to this demo directory [including ScrShot()]
bluechip/composition : Moved to composition/ and added "wrtten by bluechip" to a comment in the code
template : Fixed makefile so `make run` will ensure the DOL is up to date before sending it to the Wii
...source code and makefile are now fully annotated
I have also tweaked the top-level makefile to separate output cleanly and talk about svn instead of cvs
Please let me know if these changes are agreeable 
BC
PS. I forgot to say, I would like to see ScreenShot and LoadBinaryFromFile (wrapped in LoadImageFromFile) added to the GRRLIB main library in due course - when this happens, lesson1 and nonameno03 will need to be modified again.
