convert 24bpp bmp file to 12bpp C struct/raw (useful for certain controllers)

bmp24toraw12

Utility to convert 24bpp BMP images to 12bpp pixel data, either C structs or RAW file.
I need to find a better name for this.

Usage

24to12 path/to/image.bmp
Produces image.bmp.txt in the same path as passed image
If built outputting raw, creates image.bmp.raw instead.

Some info

• seems to work
• includes sample BMP image
• includes CBMP library (thanks https://github.com/mattflow/cbmp) so no external dependencies here
• should be compatible with most C compilers I guess

Build

Normal build:
gcc -o 24to12 cbmp.c main.c Set output to raw instead of text/C struct:
gcc -o 24to12 cbmp.c main.c -DCONVERT_TORAW

License

Do whatever you want with this, in any case the CBMP license (which doesn't seem to exist at the date of writing) applies here too.
