- Leopard" or later.) This can be obtained from MacPorts
- (http://www.macports.org/).
-
- The NASM 2.05 RPMs do not work on older Linux systems, such as Enterprise
- Linux 4. On such systems, you can easily build and install NASM 2.05
- from the source RPM by executing the following as root:
-
- ARCH=`uname -m`
- wget http://www.nasm.us/pub/nasm/releasebuilds/2.05.01/nasm-2.05.01-1.src.rpm
- rpmbuild --rebuild nasm-2.05.01-1.src.rpm

-======================
-Building libjpeg-turbo
-======================
-
-The following procedure will build libjpeg-turbo on Linux, 32-bit OS X, and
-Solaris/x86 systems (on Solaris, this generates a 32-bit library. See below
-for 64-bit build instructions.)
-
- cd libjpeg-turbo
- autoreconf -fiv
- sh ./configure
- make
-
-NOTE: Running autoreconf is only necessary if building libjpeg-turbo from the
-SVN repository.
-
-This will generate the following files under .libs/
-
- libjpeg.a
- Static link library for libjpeg-turbo
-
- libjpeg.so.62.0.0 (Linux, Solaris)
- libjpeg.62.dylib (OS X)
- libjpeg-62.dll (MinGW)

-========================
-Installing libjpeg-turbo
-========================
-
-If you intend to install these libraries and the associated header files, then
-replace 'make' in the instructions above with
-
- make install prefix={base dir} libdir={library directory}
-
-For example,
-
- make install prefix=/usr libdir=/usr/lib64
-
-will overwrite the system version of libjpeg on a 64-bit RedHat-based Linux
-machine, causing any 64-bit applications that use libjpeg to be instantly
-accelerated. BACK UP YOUR SYSTEM'S INSTALLATION OF LIBJPEG BEFORE OVERWRITING
-IT.
-
-The same can be done for 32-bit applications by building libjpeg-turbo as a
-32-bit library (see below) and installing with a libdir of /usr/lib. On
-Debian-based systems, 64-bit libraries are stored in /usr/lib and 32-bit
-libraries in /usr/lib32. On Solaris, 64-bit libraries are stored in
-/usr/lib/amd64 and 32-bit libraries in /usr/lib.
-
-Mac applications typically bundle their own copies of libjpeg.62.dylib, so it
-is not possible to globally replace libjpeg on OS X systems. However, libjpeg
-can be replaced on an application-by-application basis, for those applications
-which use a shared library version of it. This would generally involve copying
-libjpeg.62.dylib into the appropriate place in the application's Contents and
-using install_name_tool to repoint the dylib to the new directory. This
-requires an advanced knowledge of OS X and is not recommended for most users.

+=============================
+Replacing libjpeg at Run Time
+=============================
+
+If a Unix application is dynamically linked with libjpeg, then you can replace
+libjpeg with libjpeg-turbo at run time by manipulating the LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
+For instance:
+
+ [Using libjpeg]
+ > time cjpeg <vgl_5674_0098.ppm >vgl_5674_0098.jpg
+ real 0m0.392s
+ user 0m0.074s
+ sys 0m0.020s
+
+ [Using libjpeg-turbo]
+ > export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/libjpeg-turbo/{lib}:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
+ > time cjpeg <vgl_5674_0098.ppm >vgl_5674_0098.jpg
+ real 0m0.109s
+ user 0m0.029s
+ sys 0m0.010s
+
+NOTE: {lib} can be lib, lib32, lib64, or lib/amd64, depending on the O/S and
+architecture.
+
+System administrators can also replace the libjpeg sym links in /usr/{lib} with
+links to the libjpeg dynamic library located in /opt/libjpeg-turbo/{lib}. This
+will effectively accelerate every dynamically linked libjpeg application on the
+system.
+
+The Windows version of libjpeg-turbo installs jpeg62.dll into
+%systemroot%\system32. However, if jpeg62.dll also exists in an application's
+install directory, then Windows will load the application's version of it
+first. Thus, if an application ships with jpeg62.dll, then back up the
+application's version of jpeg62.dll and copy %systemroot%\system32\jpeg62.dll
+into the application's install directory to accelerate it.
+
+Mac applications typically embed their own copies of libjpeg.62.dylib inside
+the (hidden) application bundle, so it is not possible to globally replace
+libjpeg on OS X systems. If an application uses a shared library version of
+libjpeg, then it may be possible to replace the application's version of it.
+This would generally involve copying libjpeg.62.dylib into the appropriate
+place in the application bundle and using install_name_tool to repoint the
+dylib to the new directory. This requires an advanced knowledge of OS X and
+would not survive an upgrade or a re-install of the application. Thus, it is
+not recommended for most users.
+
+=======================
+Replacing TurboJPEG/IPP
+=======================
+
+libjpeg-turbo is a drop-in replacement for the TurboJPEG/IPP SDK used by
+VirtualGL 2.1.x (and prior) and TurboVNC. libjpeg-turbo contains a wrapper
+library (TurboJPEG/OSS) that emulates the TurboJPEG API using libjpeg-turbo
+instead of the closed source Intel Performance Primitives. You can replace the
+TurboJPEG/IPP package on Linux systems with the libjpeg-turbo package in order
+to make existing releases of VirtualGL 2.1.x and TurboVNC use the new codec at
+run time. Note that the 64-bit libjpeg-turbo packages contain only 64-bit
+binaries, whereas the TurboJPEG/IPP 64-bit packages contain both 64-bit and
+32-bit binaries. Thus, to replace a TurboJPEG/IPP 64-bit package, install
+both the 64-bit and 32-bit versions of libjpeg-turbo.
+
+You can also build the VirtualGL 2.1.x and TurboVNC source code with
+the libjpeg-turbo SDK instead of TurboJPEG/IPP. It should work identically.
+libjpeg-turbo also includes static library versions of TurboJPEG/OSS, which
+are used to build VirtualGL 2.2 and later.
+
+========================================
+Using libjpeg-turbo in Your Own Programs
+========================================
+
+For the most part, libjpeg-turbo should work identically to libjpeg, so in
+most cases, an application can be built against libjpeg and then run against
+libjpeg-turbo. On Unix systems, you can build against libjpeg-turbo instead
+of libjpeg by setting
+
+ CPATH=/opt/libjpeg-turbo/include
+ and
+ LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/libjpeg-turbo/{lib}
+
+({lib} = lib, lib32, lib64, or lib/amd64, as appropriate.)
+
+This is useful, for instance, if you want to build an application that
+leverages the libjpeg-turbo colorspace extensions (see below.) On Linux and
+Solaris systems, you would still need to manipulate the LD_LIBRARY_PATH or sym
+links appropriately to use libjpeg-turbo at run time. On such systems, you can
+pass -R /opt/libjpeg-turbo/{lib} to the linker to force the use of
+libjpeg-turbo at run time rather than libjpeg (also useful if you want to
+leverage the colorspace extensions), or you can link against the libjpeg-turbo
+static library.
+
+To force a Linux or Solaris application to link against the static version of
+libjpeg-turbo, you can use the following linker options:
+
+ -Wl,-Bstatic -ljpeg -Wl,-Bdynamic
+
+or you can simply add /opt/libjpeg-turbo/{lib}/libjpeg.a to the linker command
+line (the latter is the only way to link against the static version of
+libjpeg-turbo on OS X.)
+
+To build Visual C++ applications using libjpeg-turbo, add
+c:\libjpeg-turbo\include to your system or user INCLUDE environment variable
+and c:\libjpeg-turbo\lib to your system or user LIB environment variable, and
+then link against either jpeg.lib (to use jpeg62.dll) or jpeg-static.lib (to
+use the static version of libjpeg-turbo.)
+
+If building an application using Cygwin, then set
+
+ CPATH=/cygdrive/c/libjpeg-turbo/include
+ and
+ LIBRARY_PATH=/cygdrive/c/libjpeg-turbo/lib
+
+If using MinGW, then set
+
+ CPATH=/c/libjpeg-turbo/include
+ and
+ LIBRARY_PATH=/c/libjpeg-turbo/lib
+
+and link using -ljpeg in both cases. NOTE: The static libraries shipped with
+the Windows version of libjpeg-turbo cannot be used with MinGW and Cygwin. If
+you wish to link statically with libjpeg-turbo using MinGW or Cygwin, then you
+will need to build libjpeg-turbo from source using GCC.
+
+=====================
+Colorspace Extensions
+=====================
+
+libjpeg-turbo includes extensions which allow JPEG images to be compressed
+directly from (and decompressed directly to) buffers which use BGR, BGRA,
+RGBA, ABGR, and ARGB pixel ordering. This is implemented with six new
+colorspace constants:
+
+ JCS_EXT_RGB /* red/green/blue */
+ JCS_EXT_RGBX /* red/green/blue/x */
+ JCS_EXT_BGR /* blue/green/red */
+ JCS_EXT_BGRX /* blue/green/red/x */
+ JCS_EXT_XBGR /* x/blue/green/red */
+ JCS_EXT_XRGB /* x/red/green/blue */
+
+Setting cinfo.in_color_space (compression) or cinfo.out_color_space
+(decompression) to one of these values will cause libjpeg-turbo to read the
+red, green, and blue values from (or write them to) the appropriate position in
+the pixel when YUV conversion is performed.
+
+Your application can check for the existence of these extensions at compile
+time with:
+
+ #ifdef JCS_EXTENSIONS
+
+At run time, attempting to use these extensions with a version of libjpeg
+that doesn't support them will result in a "Bogus input colorspace" error.
