jasper-4.2.8

Introduction to jasper

The jasper Project is an open-source initiative to provide a free software-based reference implementation of the JPEG-2000 codec.

This package is known to build and work properly using an LFS 12.4 platform.

Package Information

jasper Dependencies

Required

CMake-4.1.3

Recommended

Optional

Freeglut-3.8.0 (required for jiv)

Installation of jasper

Prepare jasper by running the following commands:

cmake -B BUILD -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr \
      -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release     \
      -D CMAKE_SKIP_INSTALL_RPATH=ON  \
      -D JAS_ENABLE_DOC=NO            \
      -D ALLOW_IN_SOURCE_BUILD=YES    \
      -D CMAKE_INSTALL_DOCDIR=/usr/share/doc/jasper-4.2.8

To Build the package, issue:

cmake --build BUILD

To test the results, issue:

cd BUILD
make test
cd ../

Now Install the package, as the root user:

cmake --install BUILD

Command Explanations

-D CMAKE_SKIP_INSTALL_RPATH=ON: This switch makes cmake remove hardcoded library search paths (rpath) when installing a binary executable file or a shared library. This package does not need rpath once it's installed into the standard location, and rpath may sometimes cause unwanted effects or even security issues.

-D JAS_ENABLE_DOC=NO: This option disables rebuilding the pdf documentation if "texlive" is installed.

-D ALLOW_IN_SOURCE_BUILD=YES: This switch allows building from within the source tree. In our case, this is needed to allow us to build inside of the BUILD directory instead of needing to create another directory outside of the source tree.
