My plan was to find a way to increase the user experience and provide lcms2 support out of the box for the stable Wine release. Alexandre, do you see a chance for lcms2 support for Wine-1.6 (out of the box)? > I studied the API some more and my conclusion is that while it doesn't have > all > we need (specifically cmsReadRawTag and cmsWriteRawTag don't do what we want), rc1 for lcms2 v2.5 was just released: http://www.littlecms.com/lcms2-2.5rc1.tar.gz What does Wine need from lcms / for cmsReadRawTag and cmsWriteRawTag?

Hans, you found a way to change Wine to use getter/setter functions while still linking to lcms v1 and than switch to lcms2? Great! Please confirm, that you think, that this is a working transition variant. (I must admit, that I didn't studied the lcms2 API deep enough). > I'm not in favor of adding temporary workarounds.

Adding icc34.h is a variant for a transition to lcms2 without much effort, while knowing, that this work, but doesn't look beautiful. Fletching out our mscms header (similar to a stripped down icc34.h), to allow our current code to compile without icc34.h and link to lcms2 is another possible transition variant. Should we spend that time/effort, when we expect, that the added code is no longer needed after updating Wine to use the lcms2 getter/setter functions? -- By by ...
