Thanks for the "dirty trick" info.
I will add the P1.colors=1 to my code and try again.

About your first suggestion, you mention three steps:
1) Call LibRaw::open_file()
2) Position to libraw_internal_data.unpacker_data.data_offset
3) Read libraw_internal_data.unpacker_data.data_size bytes

So i try to code you suggestion:

int main(int i, char *img[])
{
  i=1;
  int tempimg, row, col;
 
// step one: Open file
  LibRaw RawProcessor;
  tempimg = RawProcessor.open_file(img[i]);
#define RAW RawProcessor.libraw_internal_data.unpacker_data
 
// step two: positioning libraw_internal_data.unpacker_data.data_offset
  tmpimg = RawProcessor.unpack();
 
/* how to position it in data.offset?... */
 
// step three: Read libraw_internal_data.unpacker_data.data_size
  for(row=0;row<RAW.data_size.iheight;row++)
    for(col=0;col<RAW.data_size.iwidth;col++)
      RAW[row*RAW.data_size.iwidth+col][0] = RAW[row*RAW.data_size.iwidth+col][RawProcessor.COLOR(row,col)];
 
// mode coding, not finished yet...
 
  RawProcessor.recycle();
  return 0;
}

Am i in the right direction or i'm completely lost?...

Really appreciate any comments you can give me.

Thanks for your answer.

Obviously my cleaning wasn't good, i ran the unprocessed_raw with a raw image file of 11.2MB and the result was a .tiff file with 18.4MB, so i have check my code. Here is the small routine (without validations) that i did:
---

int main(int i, char *rawimg[])
  {
// Initialization
  LibRaw RawProcessor;
  RawProcessor.imgdata.params.document_mode = 2;
  RawProcessor.imgdata.params.output_bps = 16;
  RawProcessor.imgdata.params.output_tiff = 1;
  RawProcessor.imgdata.params.user_flip = 0;
  RawProcessor.imgdata.params.no_auto_bright = 1;
  RawProcessor.imgdata.params.filtering_mode = (LibRaw_filtering)(LIBRAW_FILTERING_DEFAULT);
 
// Opening file and unpack
  int tmpimg;
  i = 1;
  tmpimg = RawProcessor.open_file(rawimg[i]);
  tmpimg = RawProcessor.unpack();
 
// extracting raw image data
  int row, col;
  char rawfn[1024];
  for(row=0;row<RawProcessor.imgdata.sizes.iheight;row++)
    for(col=0;col<RawProcessor.imgdata.sizes.iwidth;col++)
      RawProcessor.imgdata.image[row*RawProcessor.imgdata.sizes.iwidth+col][0]= 
      RawProcessor.imgdata.image[row*RawProcessor.imgdata.sizes.iwidth+col]
      [RawProcessor.COLOR(row,col)];
 
// formating and saving image data
  snprintf(rawfn,sizeof(rawfn),"%s.tiff",rawimg[i]);
  tmpimg = RawProcessor.dcraw_ppm_tiff_writer(rawfn);
 
// cleaning image processor
  RawProcessor.recycle();
 
  return 0;
}

If the unprocessed_raw extract only the raw data, without process anything, why the resultant file is bigger that the original?.

According with your suggestion, how can i do the step two (position to libraw_internal_data.unpacker_data.data_offset), and the step three (Read libraw_internal_data.unpacker_data.data_size bytes)?

For the step three, i assume can be done using a "for" structure, but if you can show a basic example code for your suggestion it will be really helpful for me, because i'm not an expert.

Thank you for your time and help.

I took the unprocessed_raw.cpp, clean it a little bit the code and processed a 11MB image raw file, but the resultant have 55MB, so i assume that there is a post-processing when saving the file in .tiff format.

I basically want to extract the raw image data, without metadata, read it, make a little processing and then save it in a new file.

In order to do that, your suggestion looks what i need to do, but can you please give a reference code about how to implement it?. I'm not asking for an elaborate coding, only a few lines in order to follow the idea.

I'm not c++ expert, so if the question is basic or simple, i'm sorry.

This is not bug, this is feature. So, no need to fix it

The github/master version is already fixed in another way:
configure checks will set $LIBS
and Makefile.am uses $(LIBS) instead of $(LCMS_LIBS)

This is commit URL: https://github.com/LibRaw/LibRaw/commit/73229a04fb2a44159df3baa8f812b473...

For float data output we need to change entire processing pipeline to floating point.

There are no such plans for LibRaw team: we're open to contributions, but will not spend much own effort on postprocessing phase.

Thanks for your answer.
i used the -fopenmp and compiled flawlessly.

I really appreciate your help.

Hi!
Thanks for the answer.

This is what i get from g++ (a little bit long, sorry about that):

I don't really know why the compiler looks for this file, because is not even in the /usr/local/lib or /usr/local/include directories.

I hope this could give you relevant information in order to point me in the right direction.

Thanks in advance!.

Thanks for your answer and suggestion.
I'm trying to compile a .cpp file using g++ and linking libraw, but i'm getting "undefined reference" error. This is the instruction that i'm using:

g++ ext-raw-dat.cpp -o extract -I/usr/local/include/libraw -L/usr/local/lib -lraw

can you tell me please what i am doing wrong?, at least please point me in the right direction, i know the solution must be plain simple, but i'm not really an expert and i don't see it.

Thanks in advance.

LibRaw is specially built as static (not dynamic) library under unix systems because ABI is changed frequently and there is no way to translate ABI of one version into data layout of another one.

However, it is possible to specify CFLAGS/CXXFLAGS/LDFLAGS on ./configure call.

Hi,
According to the sample code, the option "unprocessed_raw" extracts (mostly) unaltered RAW data including masked pixels data.

Is it possible to extract ALL unprocessed raw data, without the metadata and the thumbnail in order to save it into a new binary file?, can you please point me in the right direction to do this using LibRaw?.

Thanks in advance for your kindly answer.
