Just updating my version of openjpeg from 1.5 to 1.5.1 like the listing at: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/svn/general/openjpeg.html It built fine.
When I went to check the openjpeg site regarding the upgrade though, it mentioned that the latest version is already at 2.0.0. Pulled that down as well to take a look at it. The new version appears to be using cmake exclusively and not gnu autotools which means one would have to build cmake before even attempting to build this. (The SDL developers were discussing using cmake as well, but at least they said they'd continue to keep configure/make files available too.) I did some seaches on using 2.0.0 with mupdf and poppler and looks like there are some compatibilty issues. Not sure if they're all still resolved or some are still open. Looks like I'll stay with 1.5.1 for now. Can't help wondering if the switch to 2.0.0 is inevitable and if applications like mupdf will adapt to the changes or whether projects will stick with the 1.x line for compatibility reasons. I checked Debian and they're back on version 1.3. Arch and Gentoo look like they're on 1.5.0. If anyone has any further information on this, would be curious to hear more about it. It certainly makes it a nuisance for building by script to have to change from gnu autotools to cmake. Thanks. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
