It's on my todo list to really truly autoconfiscate libjpeg (and libtiff) -- which will make things like this easier. But it's not a very high priority. Nor am I all that worked up about this INT32 issue. jmorecfg.h is present in all builds of libjpeg; I don't understand why INT32 is causing a problem *only* on cygwin. It seems that you should be seeing the problem on all platforms, or none. Since your package is showing this behavior only on cygwin, I suspect something wacky in (a) your cygwin environment, or (b) the procedure/configury you're using to build on cygwin (e.g. mixing native and cygwin headers). Given that, I'm not going to rush out and fix this right away, because I only have bad choices: (1) add yet another #ifdef hack, or (2) spend a week teasing out and reverse-engineering the autoconfigury source files... -- Chuck -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
