Alternative jpeg.dll build instructions

This assumes that msvcr71 support has been enabled as per the instructions in the section Removing msvcrt dependencies.

Download the source tarball for version 6b. Unpack into a convenient directory. Open the msys console and cd to the jpeg directory. Now enter the following commands to build a stripped dll.

./configure

make libjpeg.a

mv libjpeg.a in.a

dlltool --export-all-symbols -D jpeg.dll -l libjpeg.a -z in.def in.a

ranlib libjpeg.a

gcc -shared -s -def in.def -o jpeg.dll in.a

Optionally to install the include files and import library into msys's /usr/local do the following.

make install-lib

Finally put jpeg.dll somewhere within Window's dll or executable search path.
