This package is identical to the IJG JPEG 6b release except that it uses a modern build system based on the latest autoconf, automake, and libtool. In fact, CVS versions of autoconf and libtool were used to create this package. Later versions of the package are likely to use released versions of autoconf and libtool. The package is produced by Bob Friesenhahn so that is where any bug reports pertaining to building this package should be sent to. An example build sequence for the package (should work for Linux, FreeBSD, and OSX) is: tar -xzvf libjpeg-6b.tar.gz cd libjpeg-6b ./configure --prefix=/place/to/install make make check sudo make install The package build has been verified to work for Windows MinGW/MSYS, Apple's OSX "Panther", and Sun's Solaris 9.
