Notice:
This is a jumptable version of the libraries 'fbm',
'pbm', 'pgm', 'ppm', 'pnm' (from the pbmplus package), 'rle' (from
the utah raster toolkit V3.2), 'jpeg' (V4a from the independent
jpeg group), and 'tiff' (from version 3.2B).
Jumptable and static libs and the shared image are supplied.
The package further contains only that sources that are needed to
rebuild the libraries.
Original sources are available in the packages mentioned above.
The upgrade of the JPEG lib in this version could break jpeg binaries:
in case of problems please either recompile or complain to me.
Jumplib info:
The jumplib looks like a big file, and so big cost. But: the savings on
the binaries from the pbmplus package is more than 1 MB, and on the binaries
for the Utah Raster Toolkit too. Programs using the 'jpeg' software
are about 50kB smaller when linked with this lib. For a good example
get 'xv'.
Warning:
The graphics DLL lib is in a testing phase.
every binary I've tested worked ok so far.
You will need lib{c|m}.so.4.3.3 or newer to use this lib.
WARNING:
The 1.[0-2] library is incompatible with version 0.2. It would have meant
a lot of hard work to make it compatible, and the library needed
cleanup anyway. Many binaries compiled for use with the new lib are
supplied, so you don't have to recompile everything yourself.
W A R N I N G:
The new jpeg lib is unfortunately AGAIN incompatible with the V4 version.
the program interface has changed. If problems arise with programs using
the jpeg lib, please recompile them: it is not worthwile to make a major
upgrade of the whole graphics lib everytime jpeg changes. To save you the
trouble, I have done uploads of the 'cjpeg' and 'djpeg' programs, and the
ImageMagick package.
