Build shared object while using libraw

Submitted by tim-hilt on

My goal ultimately is to convert a .cr3-image to an RGB-array that i can seamlessly pass to an existing python-program. For the C++ to Python-interface i'm using pybind11.

The workhorse-function currently has the basic structure:

    // Read, unpack and process a .cr3-image
    LibRaw RawProcessor;
    RawProcessor.open_file(filename.c_str());
    RawProcessor.unpack();
    RawProcessor.dcraw_process();
    libraw_processed_image_t *img = RawProcessor.dcraw_make_mem_image();
 
    // Convert to OpenCV-Matrix 
    cv::Mat image = cv::Mat(img->height, img->width, CV_8UC3, img->data);
    cv::cvtColor(image, image, cv::COLOR_BGR2RGB);
 
    // Return resulting Matrix
    return image;

Then, there's some pybind11-specific syntax to convert it to a python-module (i suspect that's not relevant here):

PYBIND11_MODULE(example, m) {
    m.doc() = "pybind11-plugin to convert an existing .cr3-image to an RGB-array"; // optional module docstring
    m.def("convert_cr3", &convert_cr3, "Convert a .cr3-image to RGB-array");
    //            ^^function-name     ^^function-reference                 ^^description
}

I tried to compile it two ways: using c++ and using cmake and the result in both cases was:

/usr/bin/ld: //usr/local/lib/libraw.a(utils_libraw.o): relocation R_X86_64_PC32 against symbol `stderr@@GLIBC_2.2.5' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC
/usr/bin/ld: final link failed: Bad value
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

CMakeLists.txt:

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.15)
project(cr3_to_python)
 
set(CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD 11)
 
link_libraries(raw)
find_package( OpenCV REQUIRED )
include_directories( ${OpenCV_INCLUDE_DIRS} )
add_subdirectory(/home/tim/git/pybind11 cmake-build-debug)
pybind11_add_module(cr3_to_python main.cpp)
target_link_libraries(cr3_to_python PRIVATE ${OpenCV_LIBS})

Compile-Command with c++:

c++ -O3 -Wall -shared -std=c++11 -fPIC -I/usr/include/python3.6m/ -I/usr/local/include/opencv4/ (python3 -m pybind11 --includes) main.cpp -o cr3_to_python(python3-config --extension-suffix) -lraw

Why is this error happening? I didn't include any code, that uses stderr, to my knowledge!
I'm happy to give further insights.

What is 'original CR2 image'

What is 'original CR2 image' brightness?

Do you compare rendered RAW image with built-in JPEG preview?
