Installation of JasPer

[Note]

Note

The tarball jasper-2.0.33.tar.gz will extract to jasper-version-2.0.33.

First, fix a problem that happens due to cmake-3.22: 

sed -i '/GLUT_glut_LIBRARY/s/^/#/' build/cmake/modules/JasOpenGL.cmake

Install JasPer by running the following commands: 

mkdir BUILD &&
cd    BUILD &&

cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr    \
      -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release     \
      -DCMAKE_SKIP_INSTALL_RPATH=YES \
      -DJAS_ENABLE_DOC=NO            \
      -DCMAKE_INSTALL_DOCDIR=/usr/share/doc/jasper-2.0.33 \
      ..  &&
make

To test the results, issue: make test.

Now, as the root user: 

make install

Command Explanations

-DCMAKE_SKIP_INSTALL_RPATH=YES: This option removes embedded library search paths.

-DJAS_ENABLE_DOC=NO: This option disables rebuilding the pdf documentation if texlive-20210325 is installed.
