libmv-capi-sys

Unsafe Rust FFI bindings around libmv, the motion tracking library used by Blender. Makes use of Blender's own C bindings combined with the standalone distribution of libmv.

Usage

See src/lib.rs for a very basic usage example.

Unfortunately, there is almost no documentation available on how to use libmv. In cases where the function names and signatures in the C header files aren't self-explanatory, your best bet is probably checking Blender's source code for how the functions are used.

Important licensing note

While libmv itself is MIT licensed, the C bindings come directly from Blender's source code, which is licensed as GPLv2 or later. As a consequence, this crate is also licensed as GPLv2 or later, which you must keep in mind when using it.

Dependencies; dynamic vs. static linking

libmv will be built and linked to statically. Building this crate requires libpng to be available. This should usually not pose a problem. All other dependencies are bundled with the code.

Building this crate has been tested on Linux and Windows.
