Introduction to libjpeg-turbo

libjpeg-turbo is a fork of the original IJG libjpeg which uses SIMD to accelerate baseline JPEG compression and decompression. libjpeg is a library that implements JPEG image encoding, decoding and transcoding.

This package is known to build and work properly using an LFS-7.9 platform.

sed -i -e '/^docdir/ s:$:/libjpeg-turbo-1.4.2:' Makefile.in &&

./configure --prefix=/usr           \
            --mandir=/usr/share/man \
            --with-jpeg8            \
            --disable-static &&
make

To test the results, issue: make test.

[Note]

Note

If installing libjpeg-turbo over an older jpeg installation, not all library symbolic links are updated properly. To fix this before installation, run the following as the root user: 

rm -f /usr/lib/libjpeg.so*

Now, as the root user: 

make install

Command Explanations

sed -i -e ... This command fixes Makefile.in to install documentation and examples in a version specific directory.

--with-jpeg8: This switch enables compatibility with libjpeg version 8.

--disable-static: This switch prevents installation of static versions of the libraries.

Short Descriptions

cjpeg

compresses image files to produce a JPEG/JFIF file on the standard output. Currently supported input file formats are: PPM (PBMPLUS color format), PGM (PBMPLUS gray-scale format), BMP, and Targa.

djpeg

decompresses image files from JPEG/JFIF format to either PPM (PBMPLUS color format), PGM (PBMPLUS gray-scale format), BMP, or Targa format.

jpegtran

is used for lossless transformation of JPEG files.

rdjpgcom

displays text comments from within a JPEG file.

tjbench

is used to benchmark the performance of libjpeg-turbo.

wrjpgcom

inserts text comments into a JPEG file.

libjpeg.so

contains functions used for reading and writing JPEG images.
