capture with mingw? about ic-imaging-control-samples

[TIS-Stefan]

Hello
For mingw please use the tisgrabber.dll from https://www.theimagingsource.com/support/downloads-for-windows/software-development-kits-sdks/tisgrabberdll/

The make file could be like this:

LDFLAGS=-L"$(USERPROFILE)\Documents\The Imaging Source Europe GmbH\TIS Grabber DLL\bin\win32" -ltisgrabber
INC=-I"$(USERPROFILE)\Documents\The Imaging Source Europe GmbH\TIS Grabber DLL\include"

opendevice.exe : main.o 
	gcc main.o $(LDFLAGS) -o opendevice.exe 

main.o :  main.c
	gcc $(INC) -c main.c

The main.c like this

#include <stdio.h>
#include <conio.h>

#include <tisgrabber.h>

int main()
{
    HGRABBER hGrabber; // The handle of the grabber object.

    IC_InitLibrary(NULL);
    hGrabber = IC_CreateGrabber();
   
    if( hGrabber )
    {
        IC_OpenVideoCaptureDevice(hGrabber,"DMK 23UV024");
        if( IC_IsDevValid(hGrabber))
        {
            IC_StartLive(hGrabber,1);
            printf("Press any key to stop the live video\n" );
            _getch();
            IC_StopLive(hGrabber);
        }
        IC_ReleaseGrabber(&hGrabber);
    }

    return 0;
}

Samples can be found in the "ansi.c" code installed into the users directory next to the dll.

I made a mistake, as the windows 10 Camera application was not recognizing the camera, I supposed that opencv will not work with it. It turns out that it works. By default the images were black and white, but by setting the fourcc property to "YUY2" capturing images just worked.

Thank you for the answer and the short intoductory example. I tested the code, and it works, and maybe use this approach in the future, if I will ever need more than just basic image capturing. But for now I will leave the application as it is, it gets the job done, and there is still work to be done for the core functionality.

Best regards
