Boost GIL not compiling?

[poolisfun]

Hello.

I am trying to compile this code in MS VC++ 2008 Express, but I get the error:

fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'jpeglib.h': No such file or directory 

Any idea why?

Thanks in advance!

#define BOOST_NO_DEPRECATED

#include <boost/lexical_cast.hpp>
#include <boost/gil/extension/io/jpeg_dynamic_io.hpp>
#include <cmath>
#include <ctime>
#include <set>
#include <string>
#include <fstream>
#include <iomanip>
#include <iostream>
#include <strstream>
#include <vector>
using namespace std;
namespace bGIL = boost::gil;

int main()
{
    
    return 0;
}

jpeg_dynamic_io.hpp ....... Support for reading and writing JPEG files Requires libjpeg

Thanks, but how do I install libjpeg to work with Boost?

Not sure, I havent used GIL yet, but I know you need additional libraries such as libjpeg libpng libtiff and it's misleading because the first comment in the GIL literature is that you dont need to link against additional libraries, but the evidence is that you do need additional libraries even if those are self-contained in header files. Check the files page. This tells you which additional libs are needed by which header files.

I suspect you would need install whichever libraries you need, then add the folders to your compilers include path, then the boost headers should be able to find the headers for libjpeg and everything work.

Thanks Russco. I got it working.

I downloaded tiff-3.9.2.tar.gz and ran the command "nmake /f makefile.vc" through the Visual Studio command prompt.

It compiles now at least.
