Lane, Guido Vollbeding. +This file is part of the Independent JPEG Group's software. +For conditions of distribution and use, see the accompanying README file. + + +This file explains how to configure and install the IJG software. We have +tried to make this software extremely portable and flexible, so that it can be +adapted to almost any environment. The downside of this decision is that the +installation process is complicated. We have provided shortcuts to simplify +the task on common systems. But in any case, you will need at least a little +familiarity with C programming and program build procedures for your system. + +If you are only using this software as part of a larger program, the larger +program's installation procedure may take care of configuring the IJG code. +For example, Ghostscript's installation script will configure the IJG code. +You don't need to read this file if you just want to compile Ghostscript. + +If you are on a Unix machine, you may not need to read this file at all. +Try doing + ./configure + make + make test +If that doesn't complain, do + make install +(better do "make -n install" first to see if the makefile will put the files +where you want them). Read further if you run into snags or want to customize +the code for your system. + + +TABLE OF CONTENTS +----------------- + +Before you start +Configuring the software: + using the automatic "configure" script + using one of the supplied jconfig and makefile files + by hand +Building the software +Testing the software +Installing the software +Optional stuff +Optimization +Hints for specific systems + + +BEFORE YOU START +================ + +Before installing the software you must unpack the distributed source code. +Since you are reading this file, you have probably already succeeded in this +task. However, there is a potential for error if you needed to convert the +files to the local standard text file format (for example, if you are on +MS-DOS you may have converted LF end-of-line to CR/LF). You must apply +such conversion to all the files EXCEPT those whose names begin with "test". +The test files contain binary data; if you change them in any way then the +self-test will give bad results. + +Please check the last section of this file to see if there are hints for the +specific machine or compiler you are using. + + +CONFIGURING THE SOFTWARE +======================== + +To configure the IJG code for your system, you need to create two files: + * jconfig.h: contains values for system-dependent #define symbols. + * Makefile: controls the compilation process. +(On a non-Unix machine, you may create "project files" or some other +substitute for a Makefile. jconfig.h is needed in any environment.) + +We provide three different ways to generate these files: + * On a Unix system, you can just run the "configure" script. + * We provide sample jconfig files and makefiles for popular machines; + if your machine matches one of the samples, just copy the right sample + files to jconfig.h and Makefile. + * If all else fails, read the instructions below and make your own files. + + +Configuring the software using the automatic "configure" script +--------------------------------------------------------------- + +If you are on a Unix machine, you can just type + ./configure +and let the configure script construct appropriate configuration files. +If you're using "csh" on an old version of System V, you might need to type + sh configure +instead to prevent csh from trying to execute configure itself. +Expect configure to run for a few minutes, particularly on slower machines; +it works by compiling a series of test programs. + +Configure was created with GNU Autoconf and it follows the usual conventions +for GNU configure scripts. It makes a few assumptions that you may want to +override. You can do this by providing optional switches to configure: + +* Configure will build both static and shared libraries, if possible. +If you want to build libjpeg only as a static library, say + ./configure --disable-shared +If you want to build libjpeg only as a shared library, say + ./configure --disable-static +Configure uses GNU libtool to take care of system-dependent shared library +building methods. + +* Configure will use gcc (GNU C compiler) if it's available, otherwise cc. +To force a particular compiler to be selected, use the CC option, for example + ./configure CC='cc' +The same method can be used to include any unusual compiler switches. +For example, on HP-UX you probably want to say + ./configure CC='cc -Aa' +to get HP's compiler to run in ANSI mode. + +* The default CFLAGS setting is "-g" for non-gcc compilers, "-g -O2" for gcc. +You can override this by saying, for example, + ./configure CFLAGS='-O2' +if you want to compile without debugging support. + +* Configure will set up the makefile so that "make install" will install files +into /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/man, etc. You can specify an installation +prefix other than "/usr/local" by giving configure the option "--prefix=PATH". + +* If you don't have a lot of swap space, you may need to enable the IJG +software's internal virtual memory mechanism. To do this, give the option +"--enable-maxmem=N" where N is the default maxmemory limit in megabytes. +This is discussed in more detail under "Selecting a memory manager", below. +You probably don't need to worry about this on reasonably-sized Unix machines, +unless you plan to process very large images. + +Configure has some other features that are useful if you are cross-compiling +or working in a network of multiple machine types; but if you need those +features, you probably already know how to use them. + + +Configuring the software using one of the supplied jconfig and makefile files +----------------------------------------------------------------------------- + +If you have one of these systems, you can just use the provided configuration +files: + +Makefile jconfig file System and/or compiler + +makefile.manx jconfig.manx Amiga, Manx Aztec C +makefile.sas jconfig.sas Amiga, SAS C +makeproj.mac jconfig.mac Apple Macintosh, Metrowerks CodeWarrior +mak*jpeg.st jconfig.st Atari ST/STE/TT, Pure C or Turbo C +makefile.bcc jconfig.bcc MS-DOS or OS/2, Borland C +makefile.dj jconfig.dj MS-DOS, DJGPP (Delorie's port of GNU C) +makefile.mc6 jconfig.mc6 MS-DOS, Microsoft C (16-bit only) +makefile.wat jconfig.wat MS-DOS, OS/2, or Windows NT, Watcom C +makefile.vc jconfig.vc Windows NT/95, MS Visual C++ +make*.vc6 jconfig.vc Windows NT/95, MS Visual C++ 6 +make*.v10 jconfig.vc Windows NT/95, MS Visual C++ 2010 (v10) +makefile.mms jconfig.vms Digital VMS, with MMS software +makefile.vms jconfig.vms Digital VMS, without MMS software + +Copy the proper jconfig file to jconfig.h and the makefile to Makefile (or +whatever your system uses as the standard makefile name). For more info see +the appropriate system-specific hints section near the end of this file. + + +Configuring the software by hand +-------------------------------- + +First, generate a jconfig.h file. If you are moderately familiar with C, +the comments in jconfig.txt should be enough information to do this; just +copy jconfig.txt to jconfig.h and edit it appropriately. Otherwise, you may +prefer to use the ckconfig.c program. You will need to compile and execute +ckconfig.c by hand --- we hope you know at least enough to do that. +ckconfig.c may not compile the first try (in fact, the whole idea is for it +to fail if anything is going to). If you get compile errors, fix them by +editing ckconfig.c according to the directions given in ckconfig.c. Once +you get it to run, it will write a suitable jconfig.h file, and will also +print out some advice about which makefile to use. + +You may also want to look at the canned jconfig files, if there is one for a +system similar to yours. + +Second, select a makefile and copy it to Makefile (or whatever your system +uses as the standard makefile name). The most generic makefiles we provide +are + makefile.ansi: if your C compiler supports function prototypes + makefile.unix: if not. +(You have function prototypes if ckconfig.c put "#define HAVE_PROTOTYPES" +in jconfig.h.) You may want to start from one of the other makefiles if +there is one for a system similar to yours. + +Look over the selected Makefile and adjust options as needed. In particular +you may want to change the CC and CFLAGS definitions. For instance, if you +are using GCC, set CC=gcc. If you had to use any compiler switches to get +ckconfig.c to work, make sure the same switches are in CFLAGS. + +If you are on a system that doesn't use makefiles, you'll need to set up +project files (or whatever you do use) to compile all the source files and +link them into executable files cjpeg, djpeg, jpegtran, rdjpgcom, and wrjpgcom. +See the file lists in any of the makefiles to find out which files go into +each program. Note that the provided makefiles all make a "library" file +libjpeg first, but you don't have to do that if you don't want to; the file +lists identify which source files are actually needed for compression, +decompression, or both. As a last resort, you can make a batch script that +just compiles everything and links it all together; makefile.vms is an example +of this (it's for VMS systems that have no make-like utility). + +Here are comments about some specific configuration decisions you'll +need to make: + +Command line style +------------------ + +These programs can use a Unix-like command line style which supports +redirection and piping, like this: + cjpeg inputfile >outputfile + cjpeg <inputfile >outputfile + source program | cjpeg >outputfile +The simpler "two file" command line style is just + cjpeg inputfile outputfile +You may prefer the two-file style, particularly if you don't have pipes. + +You MUST use two-file style on any system that doesn't cope well with binary +data fed through stdin/stdout; this is true for some MS-DOS compilers, for +example. If you're not on a Unix system, it's safest to assume you need +two-file style. (But if your compiler provides either the Posix-standard +fdopen() library routine or a Microsoft-compatible setmode() routine, you +can safely use the Unix command line style, by defining USE_FDOPEN or +USE_SETMODE respectively.) + +To use the two-file style, make jconfig.h say "#define TWO_FILE_COMMANDLINE". + +Selecting a memory manager +-------------------------- + +The IJG code is capable of working on images that are too big to fit in main +memory; data is swapped out to temporary files as necessary. However, the +code to do this is rather system-dependent. We provide five different +memory managers: + +* jmemansi.c This version uses the ANSI-standard library routine tmpfile(), + which not all non-ANSI systems have. On some systems + tmpfile() may put the temporary file in a non-optimal + location; if you don't like what it does, use jmemname.c. + +* jmemname.c This version creates named temporary files. For anything + except a Unix machine, you'll need to configure the + select_file_name() routine appropriately; see the comments + near the head of jmemname.c. If you use this version, define + NEED_SIGNAL_CATCHER in jconfig.h to make sure the temp files + are removed if the program is aborted. + +* jmemnobs.c (That stands for No Backing Store :-).) This will compile on + almost any system, but it assumes you have enough main memory + or virtual memory to hold the biggest images you work with. + +* jmemdos.c This should be used with most 16-bit MS-DOS compilers. + See the system-specific notes about MS-DOS for more info. + IMPORTANT: if you use this, define USE_MSDOS_MEMMGR in + jconfig.h, and include the assembly file jmemdosa.asm in the + programs. The supplied makefiles and jconfig files for + 16-bit MS-DOS compilers already do both. + +* jmemmac.c Custom version for Apple Macintosh; see the system-specific + notes for Macintosh for more info. + +To use a particular memory manager, change the SYSDEPMEM variable in your +makefile to equal the corresponding object file name (for example, jmemansi.o +or jmemansi.obj for jmemansi.c). + +If you have plenty of (real or virtual) main memory, just use jmemnobs.c. +"Plenty" means about ten bytes for every pixel in the largest images +you plan to process, so a lot of systems don't meet this criterion. +If yours doesn't, try jmemansi.c first. If that doesn't compile, you'll have +to use jmemname.c; be sure to adjust select_file_name() for local conditions. +You may also need to change unlink() to remove() in close_backing_store(). + +Except with jmemnobs.c or jmemmac.c, you need to adjust the DEFAULT_MAX_MEM +setting to a reasonable value for your system (either by adding a #define for +DEFAULT_MAX_MEM to jconfig.h, or by adding a -D switch to the Makefile). +This value limits the amount of data space the program will attempt to +allocate. Code and static data space isn't counted, so the actual memory +needs for cjpeg or djpeg are typically 100 to 150Kb more than the max-memory +setting. Larger max-memory settings reduce the amount of I/O needed to +process a large image, but too large a value can result in "insufficient +memory" failures. On most Unix machines (and other systems with virtual +memory), just set DEFAULT_MAX_MEM to several million and forget it. At the +other end of the spectrum, for MS-DOS machines you probably can't go much +above 300K to 400K. (On MS-DOS the value refers to conventional memory only. +Extended/expanded memory is handled separately by jmemdos.c.) + + +BUILDING THE SOFTWARE +===================== + +Now you should be able to compile the software. Just say "make" (or +whatever's necessary to start the compilation). Have a cup of coffee. + +Here are some things that could go wrong: + +If your compiler complains about undefined structures, you should be able to +shut it up by putting "#define INCOMPLETE_TYPES_BROKEN" in jconfig.h. + +If you have trouble with missing system include files or inclusion of the +wrong ones, read jinclude.h. This shouldn't happen if you used configure +or ckconfig.c to set up jconfig.h. + +There are a fair number of routines that do not use all of their parameters; +some compilers will issue warnings about this, which you can ignore. There +are also a few configuration checks that may give "unreachable code" warnings. +Any other warning deserves investigation. + +If you don't have a getenv() library routine, define NO_GETENV. + +Also see the system-specific hints, below. + + +TESTING THE SOFTWARE +==================== + +As a quick test of functionality we've included a small sample image in +several forms: + testorig.jpg Starting point for the djpeg tests. + testimg.ppm The output of djpeg testorig.jpg + testimg.bmp The output of djpeg -bmp -colors 256 testorig.jpg + testimg.jpg The output of cjpeg testimg.ppm + testprog.jpg Progressive-mode equivalent of testorig.jpg. + testimgp.jpg The output of cjpeg -progressive -optimize testimg.ppm +(The first- and second-generation .jpg files aren't identical since the +default compression parameters are lossy.) If you can generate duplicates +of the testimg* files then you probably have working programs. + +With most of the makefiles, "make test" will perform the necessary +comparisons. + +If you're using a makefile that doesn't provide the test option, run djpeg +and cjpeg by hand and compare the output files to testimg* with whatever +binary file comparison tool you have. The files should be bit-for-bit +identical. + +If the programs complain "MAX_ALLOC_CHUNK is wrong, please fix", then you +need to reduce MAX_ALLOC_CHUNK to a value that fits in type size_t. +Try adding "#define MAX_ALLOC_CHUNK 65520L" to jconfig.h. A less likely +configuration error is "ALIGN_TYPE is wrong, please fix": defining ALIGN_TYPE +as long should take care of that one. + +If the cjpeg test run fails with "Missing Huffman code table entry", it's a +good bet that you needed to define RIGHT_SHIFT_IS_UNSIGNED. Go back to the +configuration step and run ckconfig.c. (This is a good plan for any other +test failure, too.) + +If you are using Unix (one-file) command line style on a non-Unix system, +it's a good idea to check that binary I/O through stdin/stdout actually +works. You should get the same results from "djpeg <testorig.jpg >out.ppm" +as from "djpeg -outfile out.ppm testorig.jpg". Note that the makefiles all +use the latter style and therefore do not exercise stdin/stdout! If this +check fails, try recompiling with USE_SETMODE or USE_FDOPEN defined. +If it still doesn't work, better use two-file style. + +If you chose a memory manager other than jmemnobs.c, you should test that +temporary-file usage works. Try "djpeg -bmp -colors 256 -max 0 testorig.jpg" +and make sure its output matches testimg.bmp. If you have any really large +images handy, try compressing them with -optimize and/or decompressing with +-colors 256 to make sure your DEFAULT_MAX_MEM setting is not too large. + +NOTE: this is far from an exhaustive test of the JPEG software; some modules, +such as 1-pass color quantization, are not exercised at all. It's just a +quick test to give you some confidence that you haven't missed something +major. + + +INSTALLING THE SOFTWARE +======================= + +Once you're done with the above steps, you can install the software by +copying the executable files (cjpeg, djpeg, jpegtran, rdjpgcom, and wrjpgcom) +to wherever you normally install programs. On Unix systems, you'll also want +to put the man pages (cjpeg.1, djpeg.1, jpegtran.1, rdjpgcom.1, wrjpgcom.1) +in the man-page directory. The pre-fab makefiles don't support this step +since there's such a wide variety of installation procedures on different +systems. + +If you generated a Makefile with the "configure" script, you can just say + make install +to install the programs and their man pages into the standard places. +(You'll probably need to be root to do this.) We recommend first saying + make -n install +to see where configure thought the files should go. You may need to edit +the Makefile, particularly if your system's conventions for man page +filenames don't match what configure expects. + +If you want to install the IJG library itself, for use in compiling other +programs besides ours, then you need to put the four include files + jpeglib.h jerror.h jconfig.h jmorecfg.h +into your include-file directory, and put the library file libjpeg.a +(extension may vary depending on system) wherever library files go. +If you generated a Makefile with "configure", it will do what it thinks +is the right thing if you say + make install-lib + + +OPTIONAL STUFF +============== + +Progress monitor: + +If you like, you can #define PROGRESS_REPORT (in jconfig.h) to enable display +of percent-done progress reports. The routine provided in cdjpeg.c merely +prints percentages to stderr, but you can customize it to do something +fancier. + +Utah RLE file format support: + +We distribute the software with support for RLE image files (Utah Raster +Toolkit format) disabled, because the RLE support won't compile without the +Utah library. If you have URT version 3.1 or later, you can enable RLE +support as follows: + 1. #define RLE_SUPPORTED in jconfig.h. + 2. Add a -I option to CFLAGS in the Makefile for the directory + containing the URT .h files (typically the "include" + subdirectory of the URT distribution). + 3. Add -L... -lrle to LDLIBS in the Makefile, where ... specifies + the directory containing the URT "librle.a" file (typically the + "lib" subdirectory of the URT distribution). + +Support for 12-bit-deep pixel data: + +The JPEG standard allows either 8-bit or 12-bit data precision. (For color, +this means 8 or 12 bits per channel, of course.) If you need to work with +deeper than 8-bit data, you can compile the IJG code for 12-bit operation. +To do so: + 1. In jmorecfg.h, define BITS_IN_JSAMPLE as 12 rather than 8. + 2. In jconfig.h, undefine BMP_SUPPORTED, RLE_SUPPORTED, and TARGA_SUPPORTED, + because the code for those formats doesn't handle 12-bit data and won't + even compile. (The PPM code does work, as explained below. The GIF + code works too; it scales 8-bit GIF data to and from 12-bit depth + automatically.) + 3. Compile. Don't expect "make test" to pass, since the supplied test + files are for 8-bit data. + +Currently, 12-bit support does not work on 16-bit-int machines. + +Note that a 12-bit version will not read 8-bit JPEG files, nor vice versa; +so you'll want to keep around a regular 8-bit compilation as well. +(Run-time selection of data depth, to allow a single copy that does both, +is possible but would probably slow things down considerably; it's very low +on our to-do list.) + +The PPM reader (rdppm.c) can read 12-bit data from either text-format or +binary-format PPM and PGM files. Binary-format PPM/PGM files which have a +maxval greater than 255 are assumed to use 2 bytes per sample, MSB first +(big-endian order). As of early 1995, 2-byte binary format is not +officially supported by the PBMPLUS library, but it is expected that a +future release of PBMPLUS will support it. Note that the PPM reader will +read files of any maxval regardless of the BITS_IN_JSAMPLE setting; incoming +data is automatically rescaled to either maxval=255 or maxval=4095 as +appropriate for the cjpeg bit depth. + +The PPM writer (wrppm.c) will normally write 2-byte binary PPM or PGM +format, maxval 4095, when compiled with BITS_IN_JSAMPLE=12. Since this +format is not yet widely supported, you can disable it by compiling wrppm.c +with PPM_NORAWWORD defined; then the data is scaled down to 8 bits to make a +standard 1-byte/sample PPM or PGM file. (Yes, this means still another copy +of djpeg to keep around. But hopefully you won't need it for very long. +Poskanzer's supposed to get that new PBMPLUS release out Real Soon Now.) + +Of course, if you are working with 12-bit data, you probably have it stored +in some other, nonstandard format. In that case you'll probably want to +write your own I/O modules to read and write your format. + +Note that a 12-bit version of cjpeg always runs in "-optimize" mode, in +order to generate valid Huffman tables. This is necessary because our +default Huffman tables only cover 8-bit data. + +Removing code: + +If you need to make a smaller version of the JPEG software, some optional +functions can be removed at compile time. See the xxx_SUPPORTED #defines in +jconfig.h and jmorecfg.h. If at all possible, we recommend that you leave in +decoder support for all valid JPEG files, to ensure that you can read anyone's +output. Taking out support for image file formats that you don't use is the +most painless way to make the programs smaller. Another possibility is to +remove some of the DCT methods: in particular, the "IFAST" method may not be +enough faster than the others to be worth keeping on your machine. (If you +do remove ISLOW or IFAST, be sure to redefine JDCT_DEFAULT or JDCT_FASTEST +to a supported method, by adding a #define in jconfig.h.) + + +OPTIMIZATION +============ + +Unless you own a Cray, you'll probably be interested in making the JPEG +software go as fast as possible. This section covers some machine-dependent +optimizations you may want to try. We suggest that before trying any of +this, you first get the basic installation to pass the self-test step. +Repeat the self-test after any optimization to make sure that you haven't +broken anything. + +The integer DCT routines perform a lot of multiplications. These +multiplications must yield 32-bit results, but none of their input values +are more than 16 bits wide. On many machines, notably the 680x0 and 80x86 +CPUs, a 16x16=>32 bit multiply instruction is faster than a full 32x32=>32 +bit multiply. Unfortunately there is no portable way to specify such a +multiplication in C, but some compilers can generate one when you use the +right combination of casts. See the MULTIPLYxxx macro definitions in +jdct.h. If your compiler makes "int" be 32 bits and "short" be 16 bits, +defining SHORTxSHORT_32 is fairly likely to work. When experimenting with +alternate definitions, be sure to test not only whether the code still works +(use the self-test), but also whether it is actually faster --- on some +compilers, alternate definitions may compute the right answer, yet be slower +than the default. Timing cjpeg on a large PGM (grayscale) input file is the +best way to check this, as the DCT will be the largest fraction of the runtime +in that mode. (Note: some of the distributed compiler-specific jconfig files +already contain #define switches to select appropriate MULTIPLYxxx +definitions.) + +If your machine has sufficiently fast floating point hardware, you may find +that the float DCT method is faster than the integer DCT methods, even +after tweaking the integer multiply macros. In that case you may want to +make the float DCT be the default method. (The only objection to this is +that float DCT results may vary slightly across machines.) To do that, add +"#define JDCT_DEFAULT JDCT_FLOAT" to jconfig.h. Even if you don't change +the default, you should redefine JDCT_FASTEST, which is the method selected +by djpeg's -fast switch. Don't forget to update the documentation files +(usage.txt and/or cjpeg.1, djpeg.1) to agree with what you've done. + +If access to "short" arrays is slow on your machine, it may be a win to +define type JCOEF as int rather than short. This will cost a good deal of +memory though, particularly in some multi-pass modes, so don't do it unless +you have memory to burn and short is REALLY slow. + +If your compiler can compile function calls in-line, make sure the INLINE +macro in jmorecfg.h is defined as the keyword that marks a function +inline-able. Some compilers have a switch that tells the compiler to inline +any function it thinks is profitable (e.g., -finline-functions for gcc). +Enabling such a switch is likely to make the compiled code bigger but faster. + +In general, it's worth trying the maximum optimization level of your compiler, +and experimenting with any optional optimizations such as loop unrolling. +(Unfortunately, far too many compilers have optimizer bugs ... be prepared to +back off if the code fails self-test.) If you do any experimentation along +these lines, please report the optimal settings to jpeg-info@jpegclub.org so +we can mention them in future releases. Be sure to specify your machine and +compiler version. + + +HINTS FOR SPECIFIC SYSTEMS +========================== + +We welcome reports on changes needed for systems not mentioned here. Submit +'em to jpeg-info@jpegclub.org. Also, if configure or ckconfig.c is wrong +about how to configure the JPEG software for your system, please let us know. + + +Acorn RISC OS: + +(Thanks to Simon Middleton for these hints on compiling with Desktop C.) +After renaming the files according to Acorn conventions, take a copy of +makefile.ansi, change all occurrences of 'libjpeg.a' to 'libjpeg.o' and +change these definitions as indicated: + +CFLAGS= -throwback -IC: -Wn +LDLIBS=C:o.Stubs +SYSDEPMEM=jmemansi.o +LN=Link +AR=LibFile -c -o + +Also add a new line '.c.o:; $(cc) $< $(cflags) -c -o $@'. Remove the +lines '$(RM) libjpeg.o' and '$(AR2) libjpeg.o' and the 'jconfig.h' +dependency section. + +Copy jconfig.txt to jconfig.h. Edit jconfig.h to define TWO_FILE_COMMANDLINE +and CHAR_IS_UNSIGNED. + +Run the makefile using !AMU not !Make. If you want to use the 'clean' and +'test' makefile entries then you will have to fiddle with the syntax a bit +and rename the test files. + + +Amiga: + +SAS C 6.50 reportedly is too buggy to compile the IJG code properly. +A patch to update to 6.51 is available from SAS or AmiNet FTP sites. + +The supplied config files are set up to use jmemname.c as the memory +manager, with temporary files being created on the device named by +"JPEGTMP:". + + +Atari ST/STE/TT: + +Copy the project files makcjpeg.st, makdjpeg.st, maktjpeg.st, and makljpeg.st +to cjpeg.prj, djpeg.prj, jpegtran.prj, and libjpeg.prj respectively. The +project files should work as-is with Pure C. For Turbo C, change library +filenames "pc..." to "tc..." in each project file. Note that libjpeg.prj +selects jmemansi.c as the recommended memory manager. You'll probably want to +adjust the DEFAULT_MAX_MEM setting --- you want it to be a couple hundred K +less than your normal free memory. Put "#define DEFAULT_MAX_MEM nnnn" into +jconfig.h to do this. + +To use the 68881/68882 coprocessor for the floating point DCT, add the +compiler option "-8" to the project files and replace pcfltlib.lib with +pc881lib.lib in cjpeg.prj and djpeg.prj. Or if you don't have a +coprocessor, you may prefer to remove the float DCT code by undefining +DCT_FLOAT_SUPPORTED in jmorecfg.h (since without a coprocessor, the float +code will be too slow to be useful). In that case, you can delete +pcfltlib.lib from the project files. + +Note that you must make libjpeg.lib before making cjpeg.ttp, djpeg.ttp, +or jpegtran.ttp. You'll have to perform the self-test by hand. + +We haven't bothered to include project files for rdjpgcom and wrjpgcom. +Those source files should just be compiled by themselves; they don't +depend on the JPEG library. You can use the default.prj project file +of the Pure C distribution to make the programs. + +There is a bug in some older versions of the Turbo C library which causes the +space used by temporary files created with "tmpfile()" not to be freed after +an abnormal program exit. If you check your disk afterwards, you will find +cluster chains that are allocated but not used by a file. This should not +happen in cjpeg/djpeg/jpegtran, since we enable a signal catcher to explicitly +close temp files before exiting. But if you use the JPEG library with your +own code, be sure to supply a signal catcher, or else use a different +system-dependent memory manager. + + +Cray: + +Should you be so fortunate as to be running JPEG on a Cray YMP, there is a +compiler bug in old versions of Cray's Standard C (prior to 3.1). If you +still have an old compiler, you'll need to insert a line reading +"#pragma novector" just before the loop + for (i = 1; i <= (int) htbl->bits[l]; i++) + huffsize[p++] = (char) l; +in fix_huff_tbl (in V5beta1, line 204 of jchuff.c and line 176 of jdhuff.c). +[This bug may or may not still occur with the current IJG code, but it's +probably a dead issue anyway...] + + +HP-UX: + +If you have HP-UX 7.05 or later with the "software development" C compiler, +you should run the compiler in ANSI mode. If using the configure script, +say + ./configure CC='cc -Aa' +(or -Ae if you prefer). If configuring by hand, use makefile.ansi and add +"-Aa" to the CFLAGS line in the makefile. + +If you have a pre-7.05 system, or if you are using the non-ANSI C compiler +delivered with a minimum HP-UX system, then you must use makefile.unix +(and do NOT add -Aa); or just run configure without the CC option. + +On HP 9000 series 800 machines, the HP C compiler is buggy in revisions prior +to A.08.07. If you get complaints about "not a typedef name", you'll have to +use makefile.unix, or run configure without the CC option. + + +Macintosh, generic comments: + +The supplied user-interface files (cjpeg.c, djpeg.c, etc) are set up to +provide a Unix-style command line interface. You can use this interface on +the Mac by means of the ccommand() library routine provided by Metrowerks +CodeWarrior or Think C. This is only appropriate for testing the library, +however; to make a user-friendly equivalent of cjpeg/djpeg you'd really want +to develop a Mac-style user interface. There isn't a complete example +available at the moment, but there are some helpful starting points: +1. Sam Bushell's free "To JPEG" applet provides drag-and-drop conversion to +JPEG under System 7 and later. This only illustrates how to use the +compression half of the library, but it does a very nice job of that part. +The CodeWarrior source code is available from http://www.pobox.com/~jsam. +2. Jim Brunner prepared a Mac-style user interface for both compression and +decompression. Unfortunately, it hasn't been updated since IJG v4, and +the library's API has changed considerably since then. Still it may be of +some help, particularly as a guide to compiling the IJG code under Think C. +Jim's code is available from the Info-Mac archives, at sumex-aim.stanford.edu +or mirrors thereof; see file /info-mac/dev/src/jpeg-convert-c.hqx. + +jmemmac.c is the recommended memory manager back end for Macintosh. It uses +NewPtr/DisposePtr instead of malloc/free, and has a Mac-specific +implementation of jpeg_mem_available(). It also creates temporary files that +follow Mac conventions. (That part of the code relies on System-7-or-later OS +functions. See the comments in jmemmac.c if you need to run it on System 6.) +NOTE that USE_MAC_MEMMGR must be defined in jconfig.h to use jmemmac.c. + +You can also use jmemnobs.c, if you don't care about handling images larger +than available memory. If you use any memory manager back end other than +jmemmac.c, we recommend replacing "malloc" and "free" by "NewPtr" and +"DisposePtr", because Mac C libraries often have peculiar implementations of +malloc/free. (For instance, free() may not return the freed space to the +Mac Memory Manager. This is undesirable for the IJG code because jmemmgr.c +already clumps space requests.) + + +Macintosh, Metrowerks CodeWarrior: + +The Unix-command-line-style interface can be used by defining USE_CCOMMAND. +You'll also need to define TWO_FILE_COMMANDLINE to avoid stdin/stdout. +This means that when using the cjpeg/djpeg programs, you'll have to type the +input and output file names in the "Arguments" text-edit box, rather than +using the file radio buttons. (Perhaps USE_FDOPEN or USE_SETMODE would +eliminate the problem, but I haven't heard from anyone who's tried it.) + +On 680x0 Macs, Metrowerks defines type "double" as a 10-byte IEEE extended +float. jmemmgr.c won't like this: it wants sizeof(ALIGN_TYPE) to be a power +of 2. Add "#define ALIGN_TYPE long" to jconfig.h to eliminate the complaint. + +The supplied configuration file jconfig.mac can be used for your jconfig.h; +it includes all the recommended symbol definitions. If you have AppleScript +installed, you can run the supplied script makeproj.mac to create CodeWarrior +project files for the library and the testbed applications, then build the +library and applications. (Thanks to Dan Sears and Don Agro for this nifty +hack, which saves us from trying to maintain CodeWarrior project files as part +of the IJG distribution...) + + +Macintosh, Think C: + +The documentation in Jim Brunner's "JPEG Convert" source code (see above) +includes detailed build instructions for Think C; it's probably somewhat +out of date for the current release, but may be helpful. + +If you want to build the minimal command line version, proceed as follows. +You'll have to prepare project files for the programs; we don't include any +in the distribution since they are not text files. Use the file lists in +any of the supplied makefiles as a guide. Also add the ANSI and Unix C +libraries in a separate segment. You may need to divide the JPEG files into +more than one segment; we recommend dividing compression and decompression +modules. Define USE_CCOMMAND in jconfig.h so that the ccommand() routine is +called. You must also define TWO_FILE_COMMANDLINE because stdin/stdout +don't handle binary data correctly. + +On 680x0 Macs, Think C defines type "double" as a 12-byte IEEE extended float. +jmemmgr.c won't like this: it wants sizeof(ALIGN_TYPE) to be a power of 2. +Add "#define ALIGN_TYPE long" to jconfig.h to eliminate the complaint. + +jconfig.mac should work as a jconfig.h configuration file for Think C, +but the makeproj.mac AppleScript script is specific to CodeWarrior. Sorry. + + +MIPS R3000: + +MIPS's cc version 1.31 has a rather nasty optimization bug. Don't use -O +if you have that compiler version. (Use "cc -V" to check the version.) +Note that the R3000 chip is found in workstations from DEC and others. + + +MS-DOS, generic comments for 16-bit compilers: + +The IJG code is designed to work well in 80x86 "small" or "medium" memory +models (i.e., data pointers are 16 bits unless explicitly declared "far"; +code pointers can be either size). You may be able to use small model to +compile cjpeg or djpeg by itself, but you will probably have to use medium +model for any larger application. This won't make much difference in +performance. You *will* take a noticeable performance hit if you use a +large-data memory model, and you should avoid "huge" model if at all +possible. Be sure that NEED_FAR_POINTERS is defined in jconfig.h if you use +a small-data memory model; be sure it is NOT defined if you use a large-data +model. (The supplied makefiles and jconfig files for Borland and Microsoft C +compile in medium model and define NEED_FAR_POINTERS.) + +The DOS-specific memory manager, jmemdos.c, should be used if possible. +It needs some assembly-code routines which are in jmemdosa.asm; make sure +your makefile assembles that file and includes it in the library. If you +don't have a suitable assembler, you can get pre-assembled object files for +jmemdosa by FTP from ftp.uu.net:/graphics/jpeg/jdosaobj.zip. (DOS-oriented +distributions of the IJG source code often include these object files.) + +When using jmemdos.c, jconfig.h must define USE_MSDOS_MEMMGR and must set +MAX_ALLOC_CHUNK to less than 64K (65520L is a typical value). If your +C library's far-heap malloc() can't allocate blocks that large, reduce +MAX_ALLOC_CHUNK to whatever it can handle. + +If you can't use jmemdos.c for some reason --- for example, because you +don't have an assembler to assemble jmemdosa.asm --- you'll have to fall +back to jmemansi.c or jmemname.c. You'll probably still need to set +MAX_ALLOC_CHUNK in jconfig.h, because most DOS C libraries won't malloc() +more than 64K at a time. IMPORTANT: if you use jmemansi.c or jmemname.c, +you will have to compile in a large-data memory model in order to get the +right stdio library. Too bad. + +wrjpgcom needs to be compiled in large model, because it malloc()s a 64KB +work area to hold the comment text. If your C library's malloc can't +handle that, reduce MAX_COM_LENGTH as necessary in wrjpgcom.c. + +Most MS-DOS compilers treat stdin/stdout as text files, so you must use +two-file command line style. But if your compiler has either fdopen() or +setmode(), you can use one-file style if you like. To do this, define +USE_SETMODE or USE_FDOPEN so that stdin/stdout will be set to binary mode. +(USE_SETMODE seems to work with more DOS compilers than USE_FDOPEN.) You +should test that I/O through stdin/stdout produces the same results as I/O +to explicitly named files... the "make test" procedures in the supplied +makefiles do NOT use stdin/stdout. + + +MS-DOS, generic comments for 32-bit compilers: + +None of the above comments about memory models apply if you are using a +32-bit flat-memory-space environment, such as DJGPP or Watcom C. (And you +should use one if you have it, as performance will be much better than +8086-compatible code!) For flat-memory-space compilers, do NOT define +NEED_FAR_POINTERS, and do NOT use jmemdos.c. Use jmemnobs.c if the +environment supplies adequate virtual memory, otherwise use jmemansi.c or +jmemname.c. + +You'll still need to be careful about binary I/O through stdin/stdout. +See the last paragraph of the previous section. + + +MS-DOS, Borland C: + +Be sure to convert all the source files to DOS text format (CR/LF newlines). +Although Borland C will often work OK with unmodified Unix (LF newlines) +source files, sometimes it will give bogus compile errors. +"Illegal character '#'" is the most common such error. (This is true with +Borland C 3.1, but perhaps is fixed in newer releases.) + +If you want one-file command line style, just undefine TWO_FILE_COMMANDLINE. +jconfig.bcc already includes #define USE_SETMODE to make this work. +(fdopen does not work correctly.) + + +MS-DOS, Microsoft C: + +makefile.mc6 works with Microsoft C, DOS Visual C++, etc. It should only +be used if you want to build a 16-bit (small or medium memory model) program. + +If you want one-file command line style, just undefine TWO_FILE_COMMANDLINE. +jconfig.mc6 already includes #define USE_SETMODE to make this work. +(fdopen does not work correctly.) + +Note that this makefile assumes that the working copy of itself is called +"makefile". If you want to call it something else, say "makefile.mak", +be sure to adjust the dependency line that reads "$(RFILE) : makefile". +Otherwise the make will fail because it doesn't know how to create "makefile". +Worse, some releases of Microsoft's make utilities give an incorrect error +message in this situation. + +Old versions of MS C fail with an "out of macro expansion space" error +because they can't cope with the macro TRACEMS8 (defined in jerror.h). +If this happens to you, the easiest solution is to change TRACEMS8 to +expand to nothing. You'll lose the ability to dump out JPEG coefficient +tables with djpeg -debug -debug, but at least you can compile. + +Original MS C 6.0 is very buggy; it compiles incorrect code unless you turn +off optimization entirely (remove -O from CFLAGS). 6.00A is better, but it +still generates bad code if you enable loop optimizations (-Ol or -Ox). + +MS C 8.0 crashes when compiling jquant1.c with optimization switch /Oo ... +which is on by default. To work around this bug, compile that one file +with /Oo-. + + +Microsoft Windows (all versions), generic comments: + +Some Windows system include files define typedef boolean as "unsigned char". +The IJG code also defines typedef boolean, but we make it "int" by default. +This doesn't affect the IJG programs because we don't import those Windows +include files. But if you use the JPEG library in your own program, and some +of your program's files import one definition of boolean while some import the +other, you can get all sorts of mysterious problems. A good preventive step +is to make the IJG library use "unsigned char" for boolean. To do that, +add something like this to your jconfig.h file: + /* Define "boolean" as unsigned char, not int, per Windows custom */ + #ifndef __RPCNDR_H__ /* don't conflict if rpcndr.h already read */ + typedef unsigned char boolean; + #endif + #define HAVE_BOOLEAN /* prevent jmorecfg.h from redefining it */ +(This is already in jconfig.vc, by the way.) + +windef.h contains the declarations + #define far + #define FAR far +Since jmorecfg.h tries to define FAR as empty, you may get a compiler +warning if you include both jpeglib.h and windef.h (which windows.h +includes). To suppress the warning, you can put "#ifndef FAR"/"#endif" +around the line "#define FAR" in jmorecfg.h. +(Something like this is already in jmorecfg.h, by the way.) + +When using the library in a Windows application, you will almost certainly +want to modify or replace the error handler module jerror.c, since our +default error handler does a couple of inappropriate things: + 1. it tries to write error and warning messages on stderr; + 2. in event of a fatal error, it exits by calling exit(). + +A simple stopgap solution for problem 1 is to replace the line + fprintf(stderr, "%s\n", buffer); +(in output_message in jerror.c) with + MessageBox(GetActiveWindow(),buffer,"JPEG Error",MB_OK|MB_ICONERROR); +It's highly recommended that you at least do that much, since otherwise +error messages will disappear into nowhere. (Beginning with IJG v6b, this +code is already present in jerror.c; just define USE_WINDOWS_MESSAGEBOX in +jconfig.h to enable it.) + +The proper solution for problem 2 is to return control to your calling +application after a library error. This can be done with the setjmp/longjmp +technique discussed in libjpeg.txt and illustrated in example.c. (NOTE: +some older Windows C compilers provide versions of setjmp/longjmp that +don't actually work under Windows. You may need to use the Windows system +functions Catch and Throw instead.) + +The recommended memory manager under Windows is jmemnobs.c; in other words, +let Windows do any virtual memory management needed. You should NOT use +jmemdos.c nor jmemdosa.asm under Windows. + +For Windows 3.1, we recommend compiling in medium or large memory model; +for newer Windows versions, use a 32-bit flat memory model. (See the MS-DOS +sections above for more info about memory models.) In the 16-bit memory +models only, you'll need to put + #define MAX_ALLOC_CHUNK 65520L /* Maximum request to malloc() */ +into jconfig.h to limit allocation chunks to 64Kb. (Without that, you'd +have to use huge memory model, which slows things down unnecessarily.) +jmemnobs.c works without modification in large or flat memory models, but to +use medium model, you need to modify its jpeg_get_large and jpeg_free_large +routines to allocate far memory. In any case, you might like to replace +its calls to malloc and free with direct calls on Windows memory allocation +functions. + +You may also want to modify jdatasrc.c and jdatadst.c to use Windows file +operations rather than fread/fwrite. This is only necessary if your C +compiler doesn't provide a competent implementation of C stdio functions. + +You might want to tweak the RGB_xxx macros in jmorecfg.h so that the library +will accept or deliver color pixels in BGR sample order, not RGB; BGR order +is usually more convenient under Windows. Note that this change will break +the sample applications cjpeg/djpeg, but the library itself works fine. + + +Many people want to convert the IJG library into a DLL. This is reasonably +straightforward, but watch out for the following: + + 1. Don't try to compile as a DLL in small or medium memory model; use +large model, or even better, 32-bit flat model. Many places in the IJG code +assume the address of a local variable is an ordinary (not FAR) pointer; +that isn't true in a medium-model DLL. + + 2. Microsoft C cannot pass file pointers between applications and DLLs. +(See Microsoft Knowledge Base, PSS ID Number Q50336.) So jdatasrc.c and +jdatadst.c don't work if you open a file in your application and then pass +the pointer to the DLL. One workaround is to make jdatasrc.c/jdatadst.c +part of your main application rather than part of the DLL. + + 3. You'll probably need to modify the macros GLOBAL() and EXTERN() to +attach suitable linkage keywords to the exported routine names. Similarly, +you'll want to modify METHODDEF() and JMETHOD() to ensure function pointers +are declared in a way that lets application routines be called back through +the function pointers. These macros are in jmorecfg.h. Typical definitions +for a 16-bit DLL are: + #define GLOBAL(type) type _far _pascal _loadds _export + #define EXTERN(type) extern type _far _pascal _loadds + #define METHODDEF(type) static type _far _pascal + #define JMETHOD(type,methodname,arglist) \ + type (_far _pascal *methodname) arglist +For a 32-bit DLL you may want something like + #define GLOBAL(type) __declspec(dllexport) type + #define EXTERN(type) extern __declspec(dllexport) type +Although not all the GLOBAL routines are actually intended to be called by +the application, the performance cost of making them all DLL entry points is +negligible. + +The unmodified IJG library presents a very C-specific application interface, +so the resulting DLL is only usable from C or C++ applications. There has +been some talk of writing wrapper code that would present a simpler interface +usable from other languages, such as Visual Basic. This is on our to-do list +but hasn't been very high priority --- any volunteers out there? + + +Microsoft Windows, Borland C: + +The provided jconfig.bcc should work OK in a 32-bit Windows environment, +but you'll need to tweak it in a 16-bit environment (you'd need to define +NEED_FAR_POINTERS and MAX_ALLOC_CHUNK). Beware that makefile.bcc will need +alteration if you want to use it for Windows --- in particular, you should +use jmemnobs.c not jmemdos.c under Windows. + +Borland C++ 4.5 fails with an internal compiler error when trying to compile +jdmerge.c in 32-bit mode. If enough people complain, perhaps Borland will fix +it. In the meantime, the simplest known workaround is to add a redundant +definition of the variable range_limit in h2v1_merged_upsample(), at the head +of the block that handles odd image width (about line 268 in v6 jdmerge.c): + /* If image width is odd, do the last output column separately */ + if (cinfo->output_width & 1) { + register JSAMPLE * range_limit = cinfo->sample_range_limit; /* ADD THIS */ + cb = GETJSAMPLE(*inptr1); +Pretty bizarre, especially since the very similar routine h2v2_merged_upsample +doesn't trigger the bug. +Recent reports suggest that this bug does not occur with "bcc32a" (the +Pentium-optimized version of the compiler). + +Another report from a user of Borland C 4.5 was that incorrect code (leading +to a color shift in processed images) was produced if any of the following +optimization switch combinations were used: + -Ot -Og + -Ot -Op + -Ot -Om +So try backing off on optimization if you see such a problem. (Are there +several different releases all numbered "4.5"??) + + +Microsoft Windows, Microsoft Visual C++: + +jconfig.vc should work OK with any Microsoft compiler for a 32-bit memory +model. makefile.vc is intended for command-line use. (If you are using +the Developer Studio environment, you may prefer the DevStudio project +files; see below.) + +IJG JPEG 7 adds extern "C" to jpeglib.h. This avoids the need to put +extern "C" { ... } around #include "jpeglib.h" in your C++ application. +You can also force VC++ to treat the library as C++ code by renaming +all the *.c files to *.cpp (and adjusting the makefile to match). +In this case you also need to define the symbol DONT_USE_EXTERN_C in +the configuration to prevent jpeglib.h from using extern "C". + + +Microsoft Windows, Microsoft Visual C++ 6 Developer Studio: + +We include makefiles that should work as project files in DevStudio 6.0 or +later. There is a library makefile that builds the IJG library as a static +Win32 library, and application makefiles that build the sample applications +as Win32 console applications.

Move the application .exe files from `app`\Release to an + appropriate location on your path. + + +Microsoft Windows, Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Developer Studio (v10): + +We include makefiles that should work as project files in Visual Studio +2010 or later. There is a library makefile that builds the IJG library +as a static Win32 library, and application makefiles that build the sample +applications as Win32 console applications.

See the comments in +makefile.bcc. + + +SGI: + +On some SGI systems, you may need to set "AR2= ar -ts" in the Makefile. +If you are using configure, you can do this by saying + ./configure RANLIB='ar -ts' +This change is not needed on all SGIs.
