-Release Notes
---------------
-This version of the library has been tested under the following OS:
-- RedHat Linux 9.0
-
-You should be able to link progams with the -lopenjpeg option after the library is compiled and installed.
-You can also statically link with libopenjpeg.a.
-If you use a really old version of gcc and it chokes on the CRs in the file, you can type 'make dos2unix'
-to run all of the files through dos2unix which converts CRLF to LF. This no longer appears to be required
-for RedHat 7.3 or 9.
-
-Please let us know how this works for you under other Linux distributions or any other *nix.
-
-Installation
-------------
-Note: You will need to have root privileges in order to install the library in
-/usr/include and /usr/lib directories.
-The installation process is as simple as this :
-1) Enter the OpenJPEG directory
-2) Build the distribution :
-make
-make install
-3) Clean all files produced during the build process
-make clean
-
-Simple codec compilation
-------------------------
-Once you've built the library, you might want to test it with a basic codec. To do this, go to the codec directory and use one of the following commands to build an encoder and decoder respectively:
-
-gcc convert.c image_to_j2k.c -o image_to_j2k -lopenjpeg -I ../libopenjpeg/ -lm -ltiff
-gcc convert.c j2k_to_image.c -o j2k_to_image -lopenjpeg -I ../libopenjpeg/ -lm -ltiff
-
-You should add '-L..' to those lines if you did not use the 'install' target (and the 'clean' target neither...).
