-Wrapping the jpeg support library for tcl is a bit more complicated
-than libz, or libpng.
-
-(1) libjpeg comes with its own configure command, and there is no
- configure.in. This means that it is not possible to lift the
- relevant sections out of it for the configure of the
- binding. Instead the binding run the configure of libjpeg
- (AC_CONFIG_SUBDIRS) from its own configure and uses the
- resulting header file (jconfig.h) as usual. A quirk is that
- the tcl binding is a subdirectory of libjpeg, but to be able
- to perform the previous operation its has to be the other way
- around (AC_CONFIG_SUBDIRS is unable to handle '..'
- correctly). To facility this I placed a symbolic link into the
- directory of the binding, refering to the parent under the
- name libjpeg.
-
-(2) A second trouble spot is described in the file 'DANGER'.
