libraw.so (generic), and so.2 (generic version 2) should be symlinks to so.2.0.5 (exact version).

You need to specify -lraw to linker command line and linker will do all magic.

Pentax K5 images works fine since LibRaw 0.11.2 released on November 11, 2010.

I need to compile LibRaw as a .so (to use on Android) I'm going to try my hand at making these patches, but I have no idea what I'm doing. If you could provide some help, I'd very much appreciate it lexa! ;)

For -H 2 and -H 9 the results are bitwise the same for dcraw and dcraw_emu (from 0.13.5) and my sample image (something with blown clouds)

The difference may be in auto-maximum feature in LibRaw (very useful for some cameras). To turn this feature off use -c 0 switch when running dcraw_emu:

dcraw_emu -c 0 -H 2

four_color_rgb value is saved in the beginning of dcraw_process() call, may be changed by half_size setting, but restored again at the end of dcraw_process(), just before return. (LibRaw 0.13.5)

Could you please provide sample code with errorneous four_color_rgb/half_size behaviour?

Thanks for report, to be tested.

Sorry for delayed answer, summer is vacation time.

Well, those comments are for raw converter developers.

Iliah, You say "It looks like the time spent in postprocessing to get more details and counter-act artifacts might be better spent if demosaicking prepares a cleaner and more detailed image to start with. The processing time difference between integer and floating point implementations of demosaicking most of the times is less than 5 seconds, which is substantially less compared to the time spent on image editing to get close to the same result. Try it, and you will see. "

How does one go about "trying it" to see? What about this comment:
"For float data output we need to change entire processing pipeline to floating point." from http://www.libraw.org/about?

Take a look at the method "LoadRawImage" at https://valelab.ucsf.edu/svn/micromanager2/trunk/DeviceAdapters/Tethered... )

The problem is very simple:
- you have set half_size=1 *after* unpack is called. So for the very first run the half_size is not set for unpack stage but set for postprocessing stage.

But half_size option is heavily used on unpack() stage (only 1/4 of image array allocated, pixel data placement is very different).

You need to move
rawProcessor_.imgdata.params.half_size = 1;
line above of unpack() call.

I'm using LibRaw 0.13.1. I've tested on Windows and macosx; and in each case there is a difference between the first and the second decoded image.
