Hello

I just installed the PowerVRSDKSetup-2016\_R1.1 package and did not find the OS X static library for PVRTexLib (libPVRTexLib.a). The shared library (libPVRTexLib.dylib) is present. The PVRTexTool manual (17.3.2016) states that static libraries are provided. Where can I get libPVRTexLib.a for OS X?

Best regards

S. Jordan

We no longer include static libraries in the PVRTexTool package. I’ve filed bug report BRN59541 against the user manual to correct the “Library Overview” section.
