JPEG2000 holding up gtk+ compilation

ninja master · 03-02-2009, 08:54 AM

i read about the jasper package and such, im kind of confused as to what i need to do to resolve this error

Code:

checking for jas_init in -ljasper... no
configure: error:
*** Checks for JPEG2000 loader failed. You can build without it by passing
*** --without-libjasper to configure

thanks =)

You either need to install jasper, pass the --without-libjasper to the GTK+ configure script, or install an earlier version of GTK+ that doesn't depend on jasper.

im currently passing --without-libjasper to gtk+, but i would really like to install libjasper, as i like my system to be complete so i can compile tons of stuff with out problems. without jasper is an option, but not one that i like. i have found several packages of libjasper and or jasper and or jpeg but they do not turn the flagging of the jpeg2000 off.

This is the copy I have installed on my machines and GTK+ configures without complaining --> http://www.ece.uvic.ca/~mdadams/jasp...er-1.900.1.zip

=( i put that package on my machine, but its not loaded for some reason. i think i need to run ldconfig on the directory?

Sure, you can run ldconfig, but that's not likely the problem. Look in config.log for the failed GTK+ configure. That will tell you why the test program is failing.

There's a bug in the GTK+ configure script when you just install the static libraries (which is the default):

bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=551322

You can either apply the patch referenced in the bug, or install the shared jasper libraries.
