Introduction to OpenJPEG

OpenJPEG is an open-source implementation of the JPEG-2000 standard. OpenJPEG fully respects the JPEG-2000 specifications and can compress/decompress lossless 16-bit images.

Note

This version of BLFS may not build or run some packages properly if LFS or dependencies have been updated since the most recent stable version of the System V books.

Package Information

OpenJPEG Dependencies

Required

CMake-4.2.3

Optional

git-2.53.0 (for tests), Little CMS-2.18, libpng-1.6.55, libtiff-4.7.1, and Doxygen-1.16.1 (to build the API documentation)

Installation of OpenJPEG

Install OpenJPEG by running the following commands: 

mkdir -v build &&
cd       build &&

cmake -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release  \
      -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr \
      -D BUILD_STATIC_LIBS=OFF ..  &&
make

If you wish to run the tests, some additional files are required. Download these files and run the tests using the following commands, but note that 8 tests are known to fail: 

git clone https://github.com/uclouvain/openjpeg-data.git --depth 1 &&
OPJ_DATA_ROOT=$PWD/openjpeg-data cmake -D BUILD_TESTING=ON ..      &&
make                                                               &&
make test

Now, as the root user: 

make install &&
cp -rv ../doc/man -T /usr/share/man
