+INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS for the Independent JPEG Group's JPEG software
+
+Copyright (C) 1991-2011, Thomas G. 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.

+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. (Even if you only want the library, we
+recommend building the applications so that you can run the self-test.)
+
+To use:
+1. Open the command prompt, change to the main directory and execute the
+ command line
+ NMAKE /f makefile.vc setup-vc6
+ This will move jconfig.vc to jconfig.h and makefiles to project files.
+ (Note that the renaming is critical!)
+2. Open the workspace file jpeg.dsw, build the library project.
+ (If you are using DevStudio more recent than 6.0, you'll probably
+ get a message saying that the project files are being updated.)
+3. Open the workspace file apps.dsw, build the application projects.
+4. To perform the self-test, execute the command line
+ NMAKE /f makefile.vc test-build
+5. 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. (Even if you only want the
+library, we recommend building the applications so that you can run the
+self-test.)
+
+To use:
+1. Open the command prompt, change to the main directory and execute the
+ command line
+ NMAKE /f makefile.vc setup-v10
+ This will move jconfig.vc to jconfig.h and makefiles to project files.
+ (Note that the renaming is critical!)
+2. Open the solution file jpeg.sln, build the library project.
+ (If you are using Visual Studio more recent than 2010 (v10), you'll
+ probably get a message saying that the project files are being updated.)
+3. Open the solution file apps.sln, build the application projects.
+4. To perform the self-test, execute the command line
+ NMAKE /f makefile.vc test-build
+5. Move the application .exe files from `app`\Release to an
+ appropriate location on your path.
+
+Note:
+There seems to be an optimization bug in the compiler which causes the
+self-test to fail with the color quantization option.
+We have disabled optimization for the file jquant2.c in the library
+project file which causes the self-test to pass properly.
+
+
+OS/2, Borland C++:
+
+Watch out for optimization bugs in older Borland compilers; you may need
+to back off the optimization switch settings. 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. Use it only if the make fails at the
+stage of linking the completed programs.
+
+On the MIPS R4000 architecture (Indy, etc.), the compiler option "-mips2"
+reportedly speeds up the float DCT method substantially, enough to make it
+faster than the default int method (but still slower than the fast int
+method). If you use -mips2, you may want to alter the default DCT method to
+be float. To do this, put "#define JDCT_DEFAULT JDCT_FLOAT" in jconfig.h.
+
+
+VMS:
+
+On an Alpha/VMS system with MMS, be sure to use the "/Marco=Alpha=1"
+qualifier with MMS when building the JPEG package.
+
+VAX/VMS v5.5-1 may have problems with the test step of the build procedure
+reporting differences when it compares the original and test images. If the
+error points to the last block of the files, it is most likely bogus and may
+be safely ignored. It seems to be because the files are Stream_LF and
+Backup/Compare has difficulty with the (presumably) null padded files.
+This problem was not observed on VAX/VMS v6.1 or AXP/VMS v6.1.
