Texconv-Custom-DLL v0.4.2

Cross-platform implementation for Texconv and Texassemble.
And you can use it as a DLL (or a shared library).

What's Texconv?

Texconv is a DDS converter developed by Microsoft.
It supports all dds formats.
There are some dds formats common tools can't handle properly, but Texconv can.
It's the best DDS converter as far as I know.

Extra features

You can add some features by cmake options.

• Disable GPU codec (TEXCONV_NO_GPU_CODEC)
• Enable to use texassemble as a DLL function (TEXCONV_USE_TEXASSEMBLE)
• Enable to build texassemble as an executable (TEXCONV_USE_TEXASSEMBLE and TEXCONV_BUILD_AS_EXE)

Platform

The official texconv only supports Windows.
But the custom build supports the following platforms and compilers.

• Windows 10 (or later) + MSVC
• MacOS 10.15 (or later) + AppleClang
• Linux + GCC 9.1 (or later)

Download

You can download the built binary from the release page.

• TexconvCustomDLL*-Windows.zip is for Windows.
• TexconvCustomDLL*-macOS.tar.bz2 is for macOS (10.15 or later).
• TexconvCustomDLL*-Linux.tar.bz2 is for Linux with GLIBC 2.27+ and GLIBCXX 3.4.26+.

Each zip file has a DLL and executables.
You can copy whichever you want to use to your project.
(The executables don't refer the DLL.)

Linux and macOS builds requrie libjpeg and libpng.
Or use *-no-deps.tar.bz2 versions that don't support jpg and png.

The linux build only supports distributions using GLIBC.
Build the executable by yourself if you want to use it on unsupported distros.
