How do I compile Image Magick with JPEG support and MinGW

Post by Rene »

Hello

I hope this is the right forum for my question. I am trying to compile Image Magick with JPEG support under MinGW. It seems as though I
lack the basic knowledge to do so. I have stumbled upon terms like "JPEG" and "JPEG 2" and "JPEG 2000" and wonder if they are relevant for
goal. Also, I came accross the website http://www.ijg.org that seems to have a downloadable libjpg (jpegsr8c.zip). Then again, there's
libjpg from sourceforge (with a version 6 in the filename?). Anyway, I am confused and if someone can shed some light on how
to proceed I'd be very grateful.

Thanks
René

How you looked at http://www.imagemagick.org/script/advan ... .php#mingw. It shows how you can add delegate libraries to the ImageMagick build. You can of course download and build delegate libraries (e.g. jpeg, png, etc.) yourself under MinGW.
