============
|
|
|
|
The latest version of GIL can be downloaded from https://github.com/boostorg/gil.
|
|
|
|
The GIL is a header-only library. Meaning, it consists of header files only,
|
|
it does not require Boost to be built and it does not require any libraries
|
|
to link against.
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
|
|
The exception to dependencies-free rule of GIL is the I/O extension
|
|
which requires client libraries implementing popular image formats
|
|
like libpng, libjpeg, etc.
|
|
|
|
In order to use GIL, including ``boost/gil.hpp`` and telling your compiler
|
|
where to find Boost and GIL headers should be sufficient for most projects.
