Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: Wookey <woo...@wookware.org> Package name : libsquish Version : 1.13 Upstream Author : Simon Brown, Stefan Röttger URL : https://sourceforge.net/projects/libsquish License : MIT Programming Lang: C++ Description : DXT texture compression library
libsquish is a software DXT texture compression library. It implements the 5 DXT flavours and has SIMD support for x86 (SSE) and powerpc (Altivec). It can be used (as a much slower software fallback) instead of the hardware implementations present on most modern graphics chips. This package is a build-dependency of Cavewhere (https://github.com/Cavewhere, http://www.cavewhere.com), used because using the hardware implementations has been unreliable in practice, and speed is not critical here..
