1INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS for the Independent JPEG Group's JPEG software

3Copyright (C) 1991-1998, Thomas G. Lane.
4This file is part of the Independent JPEG Group's software.
5For conditions of distribution and use, see the accompanying README file.

8This file explains how to configure and install the IJG software.  We have
9tried to make this software extremely portable and flexible, so that it can be
10adapted to almost any environment.  The downside of this decision is that the
11installation process is complicated.  We have provided shortcuts to simplify
12the task on common systems.  But in any case, you will need at least a little
13familiarity with C programming and program build procedures for your system.
14
15If you are only using this software as part of a larger program, the larger
16program's installation procedure may take care of configuring the IJG code.
17For example, Ghostscript's installation script will configure the IJG code.
18You don't need to read this file if you just want to compile Ghostscript.
19
20If you are on a Unix machine, you may not need to read this file at all.
21Try doing
22	./configure
23	make
24	make test
25If that doesn't complain, do
26	make install
27(better do "make -n install" first to see if the makefile will put the files
28where you want them).  Read further if you run into snags or want to customize
29the code for your system.

48BEFORE YOU START
49================
50
51Before installing the software you must unpack the distributed source code.
52Since you are reading this file, you have probably already succeeded in this
53task.  However, there is a potential for error if you needed to convert the
54files to the local standard text file format (for example, if you are on
55MS-DOS you may have converted LF end-of-line to CR/LF).  You must apply
56such conversion to all the files EXCEPT those whose names begin with "test".
57The test files contain binary data; if you change them in any way then the
58self-test will give bad results.
59
60Please check the last section of this file to see if there are hints for the
61specific machine or compiler you are using.

64CONFIGURING THE SOFTWARE
65========================
66
67To configure the IJG code for your system, you need to create two files:
68  * jconfig.h: contains values for system-dependent #define symbols.
69  * Makefile: controls the compilation process.
70(On a non-Unix machine, you may create "project files" or some other
71substitute for a Makefile.  jconfig.h is needed in any environment.)
72
73We provide three different ways to generate these files:
74  * On a Unix system, you can just run the "configure" script.
75  * We provide sample jconfig files and makefiles for popular machines;
76    if your machine matches one of the samples, just copy the right sample
77    files to jconfig.h and Makefile.
78  * If all else fails, read the instructions below and make your own files.
79
80
81Configuring the software using the automatic "configure" script
82---------------------------------------------------------------
83
84If you are on a Unix machine, you can just type
85	./configure
86and let the configure script construct appropriate configuration files.
87If you're using "csh" on an old version of System V, you might need to type
88	sh configure
89instead to prevent csh from trying to execute configure itself.
90Expect configure to run for a few minutes, particularly on slower machines;
91it works by compiling a series of test programs.
92
93Configure was created with GNU Autoconf and it follows the usual conventions
94for GNU configure scripts.  It makes a few assumptions that you may want to
95override.  You can do this by providing optional switches to configure:
96
97* If you want to build libjpeg as a shared library, say
98	./configure --enable-shared
99To get both shared and static libraries, say
100	./configure --enable-shared --enable-static
101Note that these switches invoke GNU libtool to take care of system-dependent
102shared library building methods.  If things don't work this way, please try
103running configure without either switch; that should build a static library
104without using libtool.  If that works, your problem is probably with libtool
105not with the IJG code.  libtool is fairly new and doesn't support all flavors
106of Unix yet.  (You might be able to find a newer version of libtool than the
107one included with libjpeg; see ftp.gnu.org.  Report libtool problems to
108bug-libtool@gnu.org.)
109
110* Configure will use gcc (GNU C compiler) if it's available, otherwise cc.
111To force a particular compiler to be selected, use the CC option, for example
112	./configure CC='cc'
113The same method can be used to include any unusual compiler switches.
114For example, on HP-UX you probably want to say
115	./configure CC='cc -Aa'
116to get HP's compiler to run in ANSI mode.
117
118* The default CFLAGS setting is "-O" for non-gcc compilers, "-O2" for gcc.
119You can override this by saying, for example,
120	./configure CFLAGS='-g'
121if you want to compile with debugging support.
122
123* Configure will set up the makefile so that "make install" will install files
124into /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/man, etc.  You can specify an installation
125prefix other than "/usr/local" by giving configure the option "--prefix=PATH".
126
127* If you don't have a lot of swap space, you may need to enable the IJG
128software's internal virtual memory mechanism.  To do this, give the option
129"--enable-maxmem=N" where N is the default maxmemory limit in megabytes.
130This is discussed in more detail under "Selecting a memory manager", below.
131You probably don't need to worry about this on reasonably-sized Unix machines,
132unless you plan to process very large images.
133
134Configure has some other features that are useful if you are cross-compiling
135or working in a network of multiple machine types; but if you need those
136features, you probably already know how to use them.
137
138
139Configuring the software using one of the supplied jconfig and makefile files
140-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
141
142If you have one of these systems, you can just use the provided configuration
143files:
144
145Makefile	jconfig file	System and/or compiler
146
147makefile.manx	jconfig.manx	Amiga, Manx Aztec C
148makefile.sas	jconfig.sas	Amiga, SAS C
149makeproj.mac	jconfig.mac	Apple Macintosh, Metrowerks CodeWarrior
150mak*jpeg.st	jconfig.st	Atari ST/STE/TT, Pure C or Turbo C
151makefile.bcc	jconfig.bcc	MS-DOS or OS/2, Borland C
152makefile.dj	jconfig.dj	MS-DOS, DJGPP (Delorie's port of GNU C)
153makefile.mc6	jconfig.mc6	MS-DOS, Microsoft C (16-bit only)
154makefile.wat	jconfig.wat	MS-DOS, OS/2, or Windows NT, Watcom C
155makefile.vc	jconfig.vc	Windows NT/95, MS Visual C++
156make*.ds	jconfig.vc	Windows NT/95, MS Developer Studio
157makefile.mms	jconfig.vms	Digital VMS, with MMS software
158makefile.vms	jconfig.vms	Digital VMS, without MMS software
159
160Copy the proper jconfig file to jconfig.h and the makefile to Makefile (or
161whatever your system uses as the standard makefile name).  For more info see
162the appropriate system-specific hints section near the end of this file.
163
164
165Configuring the software by hand
166--------------------------------
167
168First, generate a jconfig.h file.  If you are moderately familiar with C,
169the comments in jconfig.doc should be enough information to do this; just
170copy jconfig.doc to jconfig.h and edit it appropriately.  Otherwise, you may
171prefer to use the ckconfig.c program.  You will need to compile and execute
172ckconfig.c by hand --- we hope you know at least enough to do that.
173ckconfig.c may not compile the first try (in fact, the whole idea is for it
174to fail if anything is going to).  If you get compile errors, fix them by
175editing ckconfig.c according to the directions given in ckconfig.c.  Once
176you get it to run, it will write a suitable jconfig.h file, and will also
177print out some advice about which makefile to use.
178
179You may also want to look at the canned jconfig files, if there is one for a
180system similar to yours.
181
182Second, select a makefile and copy it to Makefile (or whatever your system
183uses as the standard makefile name).  The most generic makefiles we provide
184are
185	makefile.ansi:	if your C compiler supports function prototypes
186	makefile.unix:	if not.
187(You have function prototypes if ckconfig.c put "#define HAVE_PROTOTYPES"
188in jconfig.h.)  You may want to start from one of the other makefiles if
189there is one for a system similar to yours.
190
191Look over the selected Makefile and adjust options as needed.  In particular
192you may want to change the CC and CFLAGS definitions.  For instance, if you
193are using GCC, set CC=gcc.  If you had to use any compiler switches to get
194ckconfig.c to work, make sure the same switches are in CFLAGS.
195
196If you are on a system that doesn't use makefiles, you'll need to set up
197project files (or whatever you do use) to compile all the source files and
198link them into executable files cjpeg, djpeg, jpegtran, rdjpgcom, and wrjpgcom.
199See the file lists in any of the makefiles to find out which files go into
200each program.  Note that the provided makefiles all make a "library" file
201libjpeg first, but you don't have to do that if you don't want to; the file
202lists identify which source files are actually needed for compression,
203decompression, or both.  As a last resort, you can make a batch script that
204just compiles everything and links it all together; makefile.vms is an example
205of this (it's for VMS systems that have no make-like utility).
206
207Here are comments about some specific configuration decisions you'll
208need to make:
209
210Command line style
211------------------
212
213These programs can use a Unix-like command line style which supports
214redirection and piping, like this:
215	cjpeg inputfile >outputfile
216	cjpeg <inputfile >outputfile
217	source program | cjpeg >outputfile
218The simpler "two file" command line style is just
219	cjpeg inputfile outputfile
220You may prefer the two-file style, particularly if you don't have pipes.
221
222You MUST use two-file style on any system that doesn't cope well with binary
223data fed through stdin/stdout; this is true for some MS-DOS compilers, for
224example.  If you're not on a Unix system, it's safest to assume you need
225two-file style.  (But if your compiler provides either the Posix-standard
226fdopen() library routine or a Microsoft-compatible setmode() routine, you
227can safely use the Unix command line style, by defining USE_FDOPEN or
228USE_SETMODE respectively.)
229
230To use the two-file style, make jconfig.h say "#define TWO_FILE_COMMANDLINE".
231
232Selecting a memory manager
233--------------------------
234
235The IJG code is capable of working on images that are too big to fit in main
236memory; data is swapped out to temporary files as necessary.  However, the
237code to do this is rather system-dependent.  We provide five different
238memory managers:
239
240* jmemansi.c	This version uses the ANSI-standard library routine tmpfile(),
241		which not all non-ANSI systems have.  On some systems
242		tmpfile() may put the temporary file in a non-optimal
243		location; if you don't like what it does, use jmemname.c.
244
245* jmemname.c	This version creates named temporary files.  For anything
246		except a Unix machine, you'll need to configure the
247		select_file_name() routine appropriately; see the comments
248		near the head of jmemname.c.  If you use this version, define
249		NEED_SIGNAL_CATCHER in jconfig.h to make sure the temp files
250		are removed if the program is aborted.
251
252* jmemnobs.c	(That stands for No Backing Store :-).)  This will compile on
253		almost any system, but it assumes you have enough main memory
254		or virtual memory to hold the biggest images you work with.
255
256* jmemdos.c	This should be used with most 16-bit MS-DOS compilers.
257		See the system-specific notes about MS-DOS for more info.
258		IMPORTANT: if you use this, define USE_MSDOS_MEMMGR in
259		jconfig.h, and include the assembly file jmemdosa.asm in the
260		programs.  The supplied makefiles and jconfig files for
261		16-bit MS-DOS compilers already do both.
262
263* jmemmac.c	Custom version for Apple Macintosh; see the system-specific
264		notes for Macintosh for more info.
265
266To use a particular memory manager, change the SYSDEPMEM variable in your
267makefile to equal the corresponding object file name (for example, jmemansi.o
268or jmemansi.obj for jmemansi.c).
269
270If you have plenty of (real or virtual) main memory, just use jmemnobs.c.
271"Plenty" means about ten bytes for every pixel in the largest images
272you plan to process, so a lot of systems don't meet this criterion.
273If yours doesn't, try jmemansi.c first.  If that doesn't compile, you'll have
274to use jmemname.c; be sure to adjust select_file_name() for local conditions.
275You may also need to change unlink() to remove() in close_backing_store().
276
277Except with jmemnobs.c or jmemmac.c, you need to adjust the DEFAULT_MAX_MEM
278setting to a reasonable value for your system (either by adding a #define for
279DEFAULT_MAX_MEM to jconfig.h, or by adding a -D switch to the Makefile).
280This value limits the amount of data space the program will attempt to
281allocate.  Code and static data space isn't counted, so the actual memory
282needs for cjpeg or djpeg are typically 100 to 150Kb more than the max-memory
283setting.  Larger max-memory settings reduce the amount of I/O needed to
284process a large image, but too large a value can result in "insufficient
285memory" failures.  On most Unix machines (and other systems with virtual
286memory), just set DEFAULT_MAX_MEM to several million and forget it.  At the
287other end of the spectrum, for MS-DOS machines you probably can't go much
288above 300K to 400K.  (On MS-DOS the value refers to conventional memory only.
289Extended/expanded memory is handled separately by jmemdos.c.)
290
291
292BUILDING THE SOFTWARE
293=====================
294
295Now you should be able to compile the software.  Just say "make" (or
296whatever's necessary to start the compilation).  Have a cup of coffee.
297
298Here are some things that could go wrong:
299
300If your compiler complains about undefined structures, you should be able to
301shut it up by putting "#define INCOMPLETE_TYPES_BROKEN" in jconfig.h.
302
303If you have trouble with missing system include files or inclusion of the
304wrong ones, read jinclude.h.  This shouldn't happen if you used configure
305or ckconfig.c to set up jconfig.h.
306
307There are a fair number of routines that do not use all of their parameters;
308some compilers will issue warnings about this, which you can ignore.  There
309are also a few configuration checks that may give "unreachable code" warnings.
310Any other warning deserves investigation.
311
312If you don't have a getenv() library routine, define NO_GETENV.
313
314Also see the system-specific hints, below.
315
316
317TESTING THE SOFTWARE
318====================
319
320As a quick test of functionality we've included a small sample image in
321several forms:
322	testorig.jpg	Starting point for the djpeg tests.
323	testimg.ppm	The output of djpeg testorig.jpg
324	testimg.bmp	The output of djpeg -bmp -colors 256 testorig.jpg
325	testimg.jpg	The output of cjpeg testimg.ppm
326	testprog.jpg	Progressive-mode equivalent of testorig.jpg.
327	testimgp.jpg	The output of cjpeg -progressive -optimize testimg.ppm
328(The first- and second-generation .jpg files aren't identical since JPEG is
329lossy.)  If you can generate duplicates of the testimg* files then you
330probably have working programs.
331
332With most of the makefiles, "make test" will perform the necessary
333comparisons.
334
335If you're using a makefile that doesn't provide the test option, run djpeg
336and cjpeg by hand and compare the output files to testimg* with whatever
337binary file comparison tool you have.  The files should be bit-for-bit
338identical.
339
340If the programs complain "MAX_ALLOC_CHUNK is wrong, please fix", then you
341need to reduce MAX_ALLOC_CHUNK to a value that fits in type size_t.
342Try adding "#define MAX_ALLOC_CHUNK 65520L" to jconfig.h.  A less likely
343configuration error is "ALIGN_TYPE is wrong, please fix": defining ALIGN_TYPE
344as long should take care of that one.
345
346If the cjpeg test run fails with "Missing Huffman code table entry", it's a
347good bet that you needed to define RIGHT_SHIFT_IS_UNSIGNED.  Go back to the
348configuration step and run ckconfig.c.  (This is a good plan for any other
349test failure, too.)
350
351If you are using Unix (one-file) command line style on a non-Unix system,
352it's a good idea to check that binary I/O through stdin/stdout actually
353works.  You should get the same results from "djpeg <testorig.jpg >out.ppm"
354as from "djpeg -outfile out.ppm testorig.jpg".  Note that the makefiles all
355use the latter style and therefore do not exercise stdin/stdout!  If this
356check fails, try recompiling with USE_SETMODE or USE_FDOPEN defined.
357If it still doesn't work, better use two-file style.
358
359If you chose a memory manager other than jmemnobs.c, you should test that
360temporary-file usage works.  Try "djpeg -bmp -colors 256 -max 0 testorig.jpg"
361and make sure its output matches testimg.bmp.  If you have any really large
362images handy, try compressing them with -optimize and/or decompressing with
363-colors 256 to make sure your DEFAULT_MAX_MEM setting is not too large.
364
365NOTE: this is far from an exhaustive test of the JPEG software; some modules,
366such as 1-pass color quantization, are not exercised at all.  It's just a
367quick test to give you some confidence that you haven't missed something
368major.
369
370
371INSTALLING THE SOFTWARE
372=======================
373
374Once you're done with the above steps, you can install the software by
375copying the executable files (cjpeg, djpeg, jpegtran, rdjpgcom, and wrjpgcom)
376to wherever you normally install programs.  On Unix systems, you'll also want
377to put the man pages (cjpeg.1, djpeg.1, jpegtran.1, rdjpgcom.1, wrjpgcom.1)
378in the man-page directory.  The pre-fab makefiles don't support this step
379since there's such a wide variety of installation procedures on different
380systems.
381
382If you generated a Makefile with the "configure" script, you can just say
383	make install
384to install the programs and their man pages into the standard places.
385(You'll probably need to be root to do this.)  We recommend first saying
386	make -n install
387to see where configure thought the files should go.  You may need to edit
388the Makefile, particularly if your system's conventions for man page
389filenames don't match what configure expects.
390
391If you want to install the IJG library itself, for use in compiling other
392programs besides ours, then you need to put the four include files
393	jpeglib.h jerror.h jconfig.h jmorecfg.h
394into your include-file directory, and put the library file libjpeg.a
395(extension may vary depending on system) wherever library files go.
396If you generated a Makefile with "configure", it will do what it thinks
397is the right thing if you say
398	make install-lib
399
400
401OPTIONAL STUFF
402==============
403
404Progress monitor:
405
406If you like, you can #define PROGRESS_REPORT (in jconfig.h) to enable display
407of percent-done progress reports.  The routine provided in cdjpeg.c merely
408prints percentages to stderr, but you can customize it to do something
409fancier.
410
411Utah RLE file format support:
412
413We distribute the software with support for RLE image files (Utah Raster
414Toolkit format) disabled, because the RLE support won't compile without the
415Utah library.  If you have URT version 3.1 or later, you can enable RLE
416support as follows:
417	1.  #define RLE_SUPPORTED in jconfig.h.
418	2.  Add a -I option to CFLAGS in the Makefile for the directory
419	    containing the URT .h files (typically the "include"
420	    subdirectory of the URT distribution).
421	3.  Add -L... -lrle to LDLIBS in the Makefile, where ... specifies
422	    the directory containing the URT "librle.a" file (typically the
423	    "lib" subdirectory of the URT distribution).
424
425Support for 12-bit-deep pixel data:
426
427The JPEG standard allows either 8-bit or 12-bit data precision.  (For color,
428this means 8 or 12 bits per channel, of course.)  If you need to work with
429deeper than 8-bit data, you can compile the IJG code for 12-bit operation.
430To do so:
431  1. In jmorecfg.h, define BITS_IN_JSAMPLE as 12 rather than 8.
432  2. In jconfig.h, undefine BMP_SUPPORTED, RLE_SUPPORTED, and TARGA_SUPPORTED,
433     because the code for those formats doesn't handle 12-bit data and won't
434     even compile.  (The PPM code does work, as explained below.  The GIF
435     code works too; it scales 8-bit GIF data to and from 12-bit depth
436     automatically.)
437  3. Compile.  Don't expect "make test" to pass, since the supplied test
438     files are for 8-bit data.
439
440Currently, 12-bit support does not work on 16-bit-int machines.
441
442Note that a 12-bit version will not read 8-bit JPEG files, nor vice versa;
443so you'll want to keep around a regular 8-bit compilation as well.
444(Run-time selection of data depth, to allow a single copy that does both,
445is possible but would probably slow things down considerably; it's very low
446on our to-do list.)
447
448The PPM reader (rdppm.c) can read 12-bit data from either text-format or
449binary-format PPM and PGM files.  Binary-format PPM/PGM files which have a
450maxval greater than 255 are assumed to use 2 bytes per sample, LSB first
451(little-endian order).  As of early 1995, 2-byte binary format is not
452officially supported by the PBMPLUS library, but it is expected that a
453future release of PBMPLUS will support it.  Note that the PPM reader will
454read files of any maxval regardless of the BITS_IN_JSAMPLE setting; incoming
455data is automatically rescaled to either maxval=255 or maxval=4095 as
456appropriate for the cjpeg bit depth.
457
458The PPM writer (wrppm.c) will normally write 2-byte binary PPM or PGM
459format, maxval 4095, when compiled with BITS_IN_JSAMPLE=12.  Since this
460format is not yet widely supported, you can disable it by compiling wrppm.c
461with PPM_NORAWWORD defined; then the data is scaled down to 8 bits to make a
462standard 1-byte/sample PPM or PGM file.  (Yes, this means still another copy
463of djpeg to keep around.  But hopefully you won't need it for very long.
464Poskanzer's supposed to get that new PBMPLUS release out Real Soon Now.)
465
466Of course, if you are working with 12-bit data, you probably have it stored
467in some other, nonstandard format.  In that case you'll probably want to
468write your own I/O modules to read and write your format.
469
470Note that a 12-bit version of cjpeg always runs in "-optimize" mode, in
471order to generate valid Huffman tables.  This is necessary because our
472default Huffman tables only cover 8-bit data.
473
474Removing code:
475
476If you need to make a smaller version of the JPEG software, some optional
477functions can be removed at compile time.  See the xxx_SUPPORTED #defines in
478jconfig.h and jmorecfg.h.  If at all possible, we recommend that you leave in
479decoder support for all valid JPEG files, to ensure that you can read anyone's
480output.  Taking out support for image file formats that you don't use is the
481most painless way to make the programs smaller.  Another possibility is to
482remove some of the DCT methods: in particular, the "IFAST" method may not be
483enough faster than the others to be worth keeping on your machine.  (If you
484do remove ISLOW or IFAST, be sure to redefine JDCT_DEFAULT or JDCT_FASTEST
485to a supported method, by adding a #define in jconfig.h.)
486
487
488OPTIMIZATION
489============
490
491Unless you own a Cray, you'll probably be interested in making the JPEG
492software go as fast as possible.  This section covers some machine-dependent
493optimizations you may want to try.  We suggest that before trying any of
494this, you first get the basic installation to pass the self-test step.
495Repeat the self-test after any optimization to make sure that you haven't
496broken anything.
497
498The integer DCT routines perform a lot of multiplications.  These
499multiplications must yield 32-bit results, but none of their input values
500are more than 16 bits wide.  On many machines, notably the 680x0 and 80x86
501CPUs, a 16x16=>32 bit multiply instruction is faster than a full 32x32=>32
502bit multiply.  Unfortunately there is no portable way to specify such a
503multiplication in C, but some compilers can generate one when you use the
504right combination of casts.  See the MULTIPLYxxx macro definitions in
505jdct.h.  If your compiler makes "int" be 32 bits and "short" be 16 bits,
506defining SHORTxSHORT_32 is fairly likely to work.  When experimenting with
507alternate definitions, be sure to test not only whether the code still works
508(use the self-test), but also whether it is actually faster --- on some
509compilers, alternate definitions may compute the right answer, yet be slower
510than the default.  Timing cjpeg on a large PGM (grayscale) input file is the
511best way to check this, as the DCT will be the largest fraction of the runtime
512in that mode.  (Note: some of the distributed compiler-specific jconfig files
513already contain #define switches to select appropriate MULTIPLYxxx
514definitions.)
515
516If your machine has sufficiently fast floating point hardware, you may find
517that the float DCT method is faster than the integer DCT methods, even
518after tweaking the integer multiply macros.  In that case you may want to
519make the float DCT be the default method.  (The only objection to this is
520that float DCT results may vary slightly across machines.)  To do that, add
521"#define JDCT_DEFAULT JDCT_FLOAT" to jconfig.h.  Even if you don't change
522the default, you should redefine JDCT_FASTEST, which is the method selected
523by djpeg's -fast switch.  Don't forget to update the documentation files
524(usage.doc and/or cjpeg.1, djpeg.1) to agree with what you've done.
525
526If access to "short" arrays is slow on your machine, it may be a win to
527define type JCOEF as int rather than short.  This will cost a good deal of
528memory though, particularly in some multi-pass modes, so don't do it unless
529you have memory to burn and short is REALLY slow.
530
531If your compiler can compile function calls in-line, make sure the INLINE
532macro in jmorecfg.h is defined as the keyword that marks a function
533inline-able.  Some compilers have a switch that tells the compiler to inline
534any function it thinks is profitable (e.g., -finline-functions for gcc).
535Enabling such a switch is likely to make the compiled code bigger but faster.
536
537In general, it's worth trying the maximum optimization level of your compiler,
538and experimenting with any optional optimizations such as loop unrolling.
539(Unfortunately, far too many compilers have optimizer bugs ... be prepared to
540back off if the code fails self-test.)  If you do any experimentation along
541these lines, please report the optimal settings to jpeg-info@uunet.uu.net so
542we can mention them in future releases.  Be sure to specify your machine and
543compiler version.
544

546HINTS FOR SPECIFIC SYSTEMS
547==========================
548
549We welcome reports on changes needed for systems not mentioned here.  Submit
550'em to jpeg-info@uunet.uu.net.  Also, if configure or ckconfig.c is wrong
551about how to configure the JPEG software for your system, please let us know.
552
553
554Acorn RISC OS:
555
556(Thanks to Simon Middleton for these hints on compiling with Desktop C.)
557After renaming the files according to Acorn conventions, take a copy of
558makefile.ansi, change all occurrences of 'libjpeg.a' to 'libjpeg.o' and
559change these definitions as indicated:
560
561CFLAGS= -throwback -IC: -Wn
562LDLIBS=C:o.Stubs
563SYSDEPMEM=jmemansi.o
564LN=Link
565AR=LibFile -c -o
566
567Also add a new line '.c.o:; $(cc) $< $(cflags) -c -o $@'.  Remove the
568lines '$(RM) libjpeg.o' and '$(AR2) libjpeg.o' and the 'jconfig.h'
569dependency section.
570
571Copy jconfig.doc to jconfig.h.  Edit jconfig.h to define TWO_FILE_COMMANDLINE
572and CHAR_IS_UNSIGNED.
573
574Run the makefile using !AMU not !Make.  If you want to use the 'clean' and
575'test' makefile entries then you will have to fiddle with the syntax a bit
576and rename the test files.
577
578
579Amiga:
580
581SAS C 6.50 reportedly is too buggy to compile the IJG code properly.
582A patch to update to 6.51 is available from SAS or AmiNet FTP sites.
583
584The supplied config files are set up to use jmemname.c as the memory
585manager, with temporary files being created on the device named by
586"JPEGTMP:".
587
588
589Atari ST/STE/TT:
590
591Copy the project files makcjpeg.st, makdjpeg.st, maktjpeg.st, and makljpeg.st
592to cjpeg.prj, djpeg.prj, jpegtran.prj, and libjpeg.prj respectively.  The
593project files should work as-is with Pure C.  For Turbo C, change library
594filenames "pc..." to "tc..." in each project file.  Note that libjpeg.prj
595selects jmemansi.c as the recommended memory manager.  You'll probably want to
596adjust the DEFAULT_MAX_MEM setting --- you want it to be a couple hundred K
597less than your normal free memory.  Put "#define DEFAULT_MAX_MEM nnnn" into
598jconfig.h to do this.
599
600To use the 68881/68882 coprocessor for the floating point DCT, add the
601compiler option "-8" to the project files and replace pcfltlib.lib with
602pc881lib.lib in cjpeg.prj and djpeg.prj.  Or if you don't have a
603coprocessor, you may prefer to remove the float DCT code by undefining
604DCT_FLOAT_SUPPORTED in jmorecfg.h (since without a coprocessor, the float
605code will be too slow to be useful).  In that case, you can delete
606pcfltlib.lib from the project files.
607
608Note that you must make libjpeg.lib before making cjpeg.ttp, djpeg.ttp,
609or jpegtran.ttp.  You'll have to perform the self-test by hand.
610
611We haven't bothered to include project files for rdjpgcom and wrjpgcom.
612Those source files should just be compiled by themselves; they don't
613depend on the JPEG library.
614
615There is a bug in some older versions of the Turbo C library which causes the
616space used by temporary files created with "tmpfile()" not to be freed after
617an abnormal program exit.  If you check your disk afterwards, you will find
618cluster chains that are allocated but not used by a file.  This should not
619happen in cjpeg/djpeg/jpegtran, since we enable a signal catcher to explicitly
620close temp files before exiting.  But if you use the JPEG library with your
621own code, be sure to supply a signal catcher, or else use a different
622system-dependent memory manager.
623
624
625Cray:
626
627Should you be so fortunate as to be running JPEG on a Cray YMP, there is a
628compiler bug in old versions of Cray's Standard C (prior to 3.1).  If you
629still have an old compiler, you'll need to insert a line reading
630"#pragma novector" just before the loop
631    for (i = 1; i <= (int) htbl->bits[l]; i++)
632      huffsize[p++] = (char) l;
633in fix_huff_tbl (in V5beta1, line 204 of jchuff.c and line 176 of jdhuff.c).
634[This bug may or may not still occur with the current IJG code, but it's
635probably a dead issue anyway...]
636
637
638HP-UX:
639
640If you have HP-UX 7.05 or later with the "software development" C compiler,
641you should run the compiler in ANSI mode.  If using the configure script,
642say
643	./configure CC='cc -Aa'
644(or -Ae if you prefer).  If configuring by hand, use makefile.ansi and add
645"-Aa" to the CFLAGS line in the makefile.
646
647If you have a pre-7.05 system, or if you are using the non-ANSI C compiler
648delivered with a minimum HP-UX system, then you must use makefile.unix
649(and do NOT add -Aa); or just run configure without the CC option.
650
651On HP 9000 series 800 machines, the HP C compiler is buggy in revisions prior
652to A.08.07.  If you get complaints about "not a typedef name", you'll have to
653use makefile.unix, or run configure without the CC option.
654
655
656Macintosh, generic comments:
657
658The supplied user-interface files (cjpeg.c, djpeg.c, etc) are set up to
659provide a Unix-style command line interface.  You can use this interface on
660the Mac by means of the ccommand() library routine provided by Metrowerks
661CodeWarrior or Think C.  This is only appropriate for testing the library,
662however; to make a user-friendly equivalent of cjpeg/djpeg you'd really want
663to develop a Mac-style user interface.  There isn't a complete example
664available at the moment, but there are some helpful starting points:
6651. Sam Bushell's free "To JPEG" applet provides drag-and-drop conversion to
666JPEG under System 7 and later.  This only illustrates how to use the
667compression half of the library, but it does a very nice job of that part.
668The CodeWarrior source code is available from http://www.pobox.com/~jsam.
6692. Jim Brunner prepared a Mac-style user interface for both compression and
670decompression.  Unfortunately, it hasn't been updated since IJG v4, and
671the library's API has changed considerably since then.  Still it may be of
672some help, particularly as a guide to compiling the IJG code under Think C.
673Jim's code is available from the Info-Mac archives, at sumex-aim.stanford.edu
674or mirrors thereof; see file /info-mac/dev/src/jpeg-convert-c.hqx.
675
676jmemmac.c is the recommended memory manager back end for Macintosh.  It uses
677NewPtr/DisposePtr instead of malloc/free, and has a Mac-specific
678implementation of jpeg_mem_available().  It also creates temporary files that
679follow Mac conventions.  (That part of the code relies on System-7-or-later OS
680functions.  See the comments in jmemmac.c if you need to run it on System 6.)
681NOTE that USE_MAC_MEMMGR must be defined in jconfig.h to use jmemmac.c.
682
683You can also use jmemnobs.c, if you don't care about handling images larger
684than available memory.  If you use any memory manager back end other than
685jmemmac.c, we recommend replacing "malloc" and "free" by "NewPtr" and
686"DisposePtr", because Mac C libraries often have peculiar implementations of
687malloc/free.  (For instance, free() may not return the freed space to the
688Mac Memory Manager.  This is undesirable for the IJG code because jmemmgr.c
689already clumps space requests.)
690
691
692Macintosh, Metrowerks CodeWarrior:
693
694The Unix-command-line-style interface can be used by defining USE_CCOMMAND.
695You'll also need to define TWO_FILE_COMMANDLINE to avoid stdin/stdout.
696This means that when using the cjpeg/djpeg programs, you'll have to type the
697input and output file names in the "Arguments" text-edit box, rather than
698using the file radio buttons.  (Perhaps USE_FDOPEN or USE_SETMODE would
699eliminate the problem, but I haven't heard from anyone who's tried it.)
700
701On 680x0 Macs, Metrowerks defines type "double" as a 10-byte IEEE extended
702float.  jmemmgr.c won't like this: it wants sizeof(ALIGN_TYPE) to be a power
703of 2.  Add "#define ALIGN_TYPE long" to jconfig.h to eliminate the complaint.
704
705The supplied configuration file jconfig.mac can be used for your jconfig.h;
706it includes all the recommended symbol definitions.  If you have AppleScript
707installed, you can run the supplied script makeproj.mac to create CodeWarrior
708project files for the library and the testbed applications, then build the
709library and applications.  (Thanks to Dan Sears and Don Agro for this nifty
710hack, which saves us from trying to maintain CodeWarrior project files as part
711of the IJG distribution...)
712
713
714Macintosh, Think C:
715
716The documentation in Jim Brunner's "JPEG Convert" source code (see above)
717includes detailed build instructions for Think C; it's probably somewhat
718out of date for the current release, but may be helpful.
719
720If you want to build the minimal command line version, proceed as follows.
721You'll have to prepare project files for the programs; we don't include any
722in the distribution since they are not text files.  Use the file lists in
723any of the supplied makefiles as a guide.  Also add the ANSI and Unix C
724libraries in a separate segment.  You may need to divide the JPEG files into
725more than one segment; we recommend dividing compression and decompression
726modules.  Define USE_CCOMMAND in jconfig.h so that the ccommand() routine is
727called.  You must also define TWO_FILE_COMMANDLINE because stdin/stdout
728don't handle binary data correctly.
729
730On 680x0 Macs, Think C defines type "double" as a 12-byte IEEE extended float.
731jmemmgr.c won't like this: it wants sizeof(ALIGN_TYPE) to be a power of 2.
732Add "#define ALIGN_TYPE long" to jconfig.h to eliminate the complaint.
733
734jconfig.mac should work as a jconfig.h configuration file for Think C,
735but the makeproj.mac AppleScript script is specific to CodeWarrior.  Sorry.
736
737
738MIPS R3000:
739
740MIPS's cc version 1.31 has a rather nasty optimization bug.  Don't use -O
741if you have that compiler version.  (Use "cc -V" to check the version.)
742Note that the R3000 chip is found in workstations from DEC and others.
743
744
745MS-DOS, generic comments for 16-bit compilers:
746
747The IJG code is designed to work well in 80x86 "small" or "medium" memory
748models (i.e., data pointers are 16 bits unless explicitly declared "far";
749code pointers can be either size).  You may be able to use small model to
750compile cjpeg or djpeg by itself, but you will probably have to use medium
751model for any larger application.  This won't make much difference in
752performance.  You *will* take a noticeable performance hit if you use a
753large-data memory model, and you should avoid "huge" model if at all
754possible.  Be sure that NEED_FAR_POINTERS is defined in jconfig.h if you use
755a small-data memory model; be sure it is NOT defined if you use a large-data
756model.  (The supplied makefiles and jconfig files for Borland and Microsoft C
757compile in medium model and define NEED_FAR_POINTERS.)
758
759The DOS-specific memory manager, jmemdos.c, should be used if possible.
760It needs some assembly-code routines which are in jmemdosa.asm; make sure
761your makefile assembles that file and includes it in the library.  If you
762don't have a suitable assembler, you can get pre-assembled object files for
763jmemdosa by FTP from ftp.uu.net:/graphics/jpeg/jdosaobj.zip.  (DOS-oriented
764distributions of the IJG source code often include these object files.)
765
766When using jmemdos.c, jconfig.h must define USE_MSDOS_MEMMGR and must set
767MAX_ALLOC_CHUNK to less than 64K (65520L is a typical value).  If your
768C library's far-heap malloc() can't allocate blocks that large, reduce
769MAX_ALLOC_CHUNK to whatever it can handle.
770
771If you can't use jmemdos.c for some reason --- for example, because you
772don't have an assembler to assemble jmemdosa.asm --- you'll have to fall
773back to jmemansi.c or jmemname.c.  You'll probably still need to set
774MAX_ALLOC_CHUNK in jconfig.h, because most DOS C libraries won't malloc()
775more than 64K at a time.  IMPORTANT: if you use jmemansi.c or jmemname.c,
776you will have to compile in a large-data memory model in order to get the
777right stdio library.  Too bad.
778
779wrjpgcom needs to be compiled in large model, because it malloc()s a 64KB
780work area to hold the comment text.  If your C library's malloc can't
781handle that, reduce MAX_COM_LENGTH as necessary in wrjpgcom.c.
782
783Most MS-DOS compilers treat stdin/stdout as text files, so you must use
784two-file command line style.  But if your compiler has either fdopen() or
785setmode(), you can use one-file style if you like.  To do this, define
786USE_SETMODE or USE_FDOPEN so that stdin/stdout will be set to binary mode.
787(USE_SETMODE seems to work with more DOS compilers than USE_FDOPEN.)  You
788should test that I/O through stdin/stdout produces the same results as I/O
789to explicitly named files... the "make test" procedures in the supplied
790makefiles do NOT use stdin/stdout.
791
792
793MS-DOS, generic comments for 32-bit compilers:
794
795None of the above comments about memory models apply if you are using a
79632-bit flat-memory-space environment, such as DJGPP or Watcom C.  (And you
797should use one if you have it, as performance will be much better than
7988086-compatible code!)  For flat-memory-space compilers, do NOT define
799NEED_FAR_POINTERS, and do NOT use jmemdos.c.  Use jmemnobs.c if the
800environment supplies adequate virtual memory, otherwise use jmemansi.c or
801jmemname.c.
802
803You'll still need to be careful about binary I/O through stdin/stdout.
804See the last paragraph of the previous section.
805
806
807MS-DOS, Borland C:
808
809Be sure to convert all the source files to DOS text format (CR/LF newlines).
810Although Borland C will often work OK with unmodified Unix (LF newlines)
811source files, sometimes it will give bogus compile errors.
812"Illegal character '#'" is the most common such error.  (This is true with
813Borland C 3.1, but perhaps is fixed in newer releases.)
814
815If you want one-file command line style, just undefine TWO_FILE_COMMANDLINE.
816jconfig.bcc already includes #define USE_SETMODE to make this work.
817(fdopen does not work correctly.)
818
819
820MS-DOS, Microsoft C:
821
822makefile.mc6 works with Microsoft C, DOS Visual C++, etc.  It should only
823be used if you want to build a 16-bit (small or medium memory model) program.
824
825If you want one-file command line style, just undefine TWO_FILE_COMMANDLINE.
826jconfig.mc6 already includes #define USE_SETMODE to make this work.
827(fdopen does not work correctly.)
828
829Note that this makefile assumes that the working copy of itself is called
830"makefile".  If you want to call it something else, say "makefile.mak",
831be sure to adjust the dependency line that reads "$(RFILE) : makefile".
832Otherwise the make will fail because it doesn't know how to create "makefile".
833Worse, some releases of Microsoft's make utilities give an incorrect error
834message in this situation.
835
836Old versions of MS C fail with an "out of macro expansion space" error
837because they can't cope with the macro TRACEMS8 (defined in jerror.h).
838If this happens to you, the easiest solution is to change TRACEMS8 to
839expand to nothing.  You'll lose the ability to dump out JPEG coefficient
840tables with djpeg -debug -debug, but at least you can compile.
841
842Original MS C 6.0 is very buggy; it compiles incorrect code unless you turn
843off optimization entirely (remove -O from CFLAGS).  6.00A is better, but it
844still generates bad code if you enable loop optimizations (-Ol or -Ox).
845
846MS C 8.0 crashes when compiling jquant1.c with optimization switch /Oo ...
847which is on by default.  To work around this bug, compile that one file
848with /Oo-.
849
850
851Microsoft Windows (all versions), generic comments:
852
853Some Windows system include files define typedef boolean as "unsigned char".
854The IJG code also defines typedef boolean, but we make it "int" by default.
855This doesn't affect the IJG programs because we don't import those Windows
856include files.  But if you use the JPEG library in your own program, and some
857of your program's files import one definition of boolean while some import the
858other, you can get all sorts of mysterious problems.  A good preventive step
859is to make the IJG library use "unsigned char" for boolean.  To do that,
860add something like this to your jconfig.h file:
861	/* Define "boolean" as unsigned char, not int, per Windows custom */
862	#ifndef __RPCNDR_H__	/* don't conflict if rpcndr.h already read */
863	typedef unsigned char boolean;
864	#endif
865	#define HAVE_BOOLEAN	/* prevent jmorecfg.h from redefining it */
866(This is already in jconfig.vc, by the way.)
867
868windef.h contains the declarations
869	#define far
870	#define FAR far
871Since jmorecfg.h tries to define FAR as empty, you may get a compiler
872warning if you include both jpeglib.h and windef.h (which windows.h
873includes).  To suppress the warning, you can put "#ifndef FAR"/"#endif"
874around the line "#define FAR" in jmorecfg.h.
875
876When using the library in a Windows application, you will almost certainly
877want to modify or replace the error handler module jerror.c, since our
878default error handler does a couple of inappropriate things:
879  1. it tries to write error and warning messages on stderr;
880  2. in event of a fatal error, it exits by calling exit().
881
882A simple stopgap solution for problem 1 is to replace the line
883	fprintf(stderr, "%s\n", buffer);
884(in output_message in jerror.c) with
885	MessageBox(GetActiveWindow(),buffer,"JPEG Error",MB_OK|MB_ICONERROR);
886It's highly recommended that you at least do that much, since otherwise
887error messages will disappear into nowhere.  (Beginning with IJG v6b, this
888code is already present in jerror.c; just define USE_WINDOWS_MESSAGEBOX in
889jconfig.h to enable it.)
890
891The proper solution for problem 2 is to return control to your calling
892application after a library error.  This can be done with the setjmp/longjmp
893technique discussed in libjpeg.doc and illustrated in example.c.  (NOTE:
894some older Windows C compilers provide versions of setjmp/longjmp that
895don't actually work under Windows.  You may need to use the Windows system
896functions Catch and Throw instead.)
897
898The recommended memory manager under Windows is jmemnobs.c; in other words,
899let Windows do any virtual memory management needed.  You should NOT use
900jmemdos.c nor jmemdosa.asm under Windows.
901
902For Windows 3.1, we recommend compiling in medium or large memory model;
903for newer Windows versions, use a 32-bit flat memory model.  (See the MS-DOS
904sections above for more info about memory models.)  In the 16-bit memory
905models only, you'll need to put
906	#define MAX_ALLOC_CHUNK 65520L	/* Maximum request to malloc() */
907into jconfig.h to limit allocation chunks to 64Kb.  (Without that, you'd
908have to use huge memory model, which slows things down unnecessarily.)
909jmemnobs.c works without modification in large or flat memory models, but to
910use medium model, you need to modify its jpeg_get_large and jpeg_free_large
911routines to allocate far memory.  In any case, you might like to replace
912its calls to malloc and free with direct calls on Windows memory allocation
913functions.
914
915You may also want to modify jdatasrc.c and jdatadst.c to use Windows file
916operations rather than fread/fwrite.  This is only necessary if your C
917compiler doesn't provide a competent implementation of C stdio functions.
918
919You might want to tweak the RGB_xxx macros in jmorecfg.h so that the library
920will accept or deliver color pixels in BGR sample order, not RGB; BGR order
921is usually more convenient under Windows.  Note that this change will break
922the sample applications cjpeg/djpeg, but the library itself works fine.
923
924
925Many people want to convert the IJG library into a DLL.  This is reasonably
926straightforward, but watch out for the following:
927
928  1. Don't try to compile as a DLL in small or medium memory model; use
929large model, or even better, 32-bit flat model.  Many places in the IJG code
930assume the address of a local variable is an ordinary (not FAR) pointer;
931that isn't true in a medium-model DLL.
932
933  2. Microsoft C cannot pass file pointers between applications and DLLs.
934(See Microsoft Knowledge Base, PSS ID Number Q50336.)  So jdatasrc.c and
935jdatadst.c don't work if you open a file in your application and then pass
936the pointer to the DLL.  One workaround is to make jdatasrc.c/jdatadst.c
937part of your main application rather than part of the DLL.
938
939  3. You'll probably need to modify the macros GLOBAL() and EXTERN() to
940attach suitable linkage keywords to the exported routine names.  Similarly,
941you'll want to modify METHODDEF() and JMETHOD() to ensure function pointers
942are declared in a way that lets application routines be called back through
943the function pointers.  These macros are in jmorecfg.h.  Typical definitions
944for a 16-bit DLL are:
945	#define GLOBAL(type)		type _far _pascal _loadds _export
946	#define EXTERN(type)		extern type _far _pascal _loadds
947	#define METHODDEF(type)		static type _far _pascal
948	#define JMETHOD(type,methodname,arglist)  \
949		type (_far _pascal *methodname) arglist
950For a 32-bit DLL you may want something like
951	#define GLOBAL(type)		__declspec(dllexport) type
952	#define EXTERN(type)		extern __declspec(dllexport) type
953Although not all the GLOBAL routines are actually intended to be called by
954the application, the performance cost of making them all DLL entry points is
955negligible.
956
957The unmodified IJG library presents a very C-specific application interface,
958so the resulting DLL is only usable from C or C++ applications.  There has
959been some talk of writing wrapper code that would present a simpler interface
960usable from other languages, such as Visual Basic.  This is on our to-do list
961but hasn't been very high priority --- any volunteers out there?
962
963
964Microsoft Windows, Borland C:
965
966The provided jconfig.bcc should work OK in a 32-bit Windows environment,
967but you'll need to tweak it in a 16-bit environment (you'd need to define
968NEED_FAR_POINTERS and MAX_ALLOC_CHUNK).  Beware that makefile.bcc will need
969alteration if you want to use it for Windows --- in particular, you should
970use jmemnobs.c not jmemdos.c under Windows.
971
972Borland C++ 4.5 fails with an internal compiler error when trying to compile
973jdmerge.c in 32-bit mode.  If enough people complain, perhaps Borland will fix
974it.  In the meantime, the simplest known workaround is to add a redundant
975definition of the variable range_limit in h2v1_merged_upsample(), at the head
976of the block that handles odd image width (about line 268 in v6 jdmerge.c):
977  /* If image width is odd, do the last output column separately */
978  if (cinfo->output_width & 1) {
979    register JSAMPLE * range_limit = cinfo->sample_range_limit; /* ADD THIS */
980    cb = GETJSAMPLE(*inptr1);
981Pretty bizarre, especially since the very similar routine h2v2_merged_upsample
982doesn't trigger the bug.
983Recent reports suggest that this bug does not occur with "bcc32a" (the
984Pentium-optimized version of the compiler).
985
986Another report from a user of Borland C 4.5 was that incorrect code (leading
987to a color shift in processed images) was produced if any of the following
988optimization switch combinations were used:
989	-Ot -Og
990	-Ot -Op
991	-Ot -Om
992So try backing off on optimization if you see such a problem.  (Are there
993several different releases all numbered "4.5"??)
994
995
996Microsoft Windows, Microsoft Visual C++:
997
998jconfig.vc should work OK with any Microsoft compiler for a 32-bit memory
999model.  makefile.vc is intended for command-line use.  (If you are using
1000the Developer Studio environment, you may prefer the DevStudio project
1001files; see below.)
1002
1003Some users feel that it's easier to call the library from C++ code if you
1004force VC++ to treat the library as C++ code, which you can do by renaming
1005all the *.c files to *.cpp (and adjusting the makefile to match).  This
1006avoids the need to put extern "C" { ... } around #include "jpeglib.h" in
1007your C++ application.
1008
1009
1010Microsoft Windows, Microsoft Developer Studio:
1011
1012We include makefiles that should work as project files in DevStudio 4.2 or
1013later.  There is a library makefile that builds the IJG library as a static
1014Win32 library, and an application makefile that builds the sample applications
1015as Win32 console applications.  (Even if you only want the library, we
1016recommend building the applications so that you can run the self-test.)
1017
1018To use:
10191. Copy jconfig.vc to jconfig.h, makelib.ds to jpeg.mak, and
1020   makeapps.ds to apps.mak.  (Note that the renaming is critical!)
10212. Click on the .mak files to construct project workspaces.
1022   (If you are using DevStudio more recent than 4.2, you'll probably
1023   get a message saying that the makefiles are being updated.)
10243. Build the library project, then the applications project.
10254. Move the application .exe files from `app`\Release to an
1026   appropriate location on your path.
10275. To perform the self-test, execute the command line
1028	NMAKE /f makefile.vc  test
1029
1030
1031OS/2, Borland C++:
1032
1033Watch out for optimization bugs in older Borland compilers; you may need
1034to back off the optimization switch settings.  See the comments in
1035makefile.bcc.
1036
1037
1038SGI:
1039
1040On some SGI systems, you may need to set "AR2= ar -ts" in the Makefile.
1041If you are using configure, you can do this by saying
1042	./configure RANLIB='ar -ts'
1043This change is not needed on all SGIs.  Use it only if the make fails at the
1044stage of linking the completed programs.
1045
1046On the MIPS R4000 architecture (Indy, etc.), the compiler option "-mips2"
1047reportedly speeds up the float DCT method substantially, enough to make it
1048faster than the default int method (but still slower than the fast int
1049method).  If you use -mips2, you may want to alter the default DCT method to
1050be float.  To do this, put "#define JDCT_DEFAULT JDCT_FLOAT" in jconfig.h.
1051
1052
1053VMS:
1054
1055On an Alpha/VMS system with MMS, be sure to use the "/Marco=Alpha=1"
1056qualifier with MMS when building the JPEG package.
1057
1058VAX/VMS v5.5-1 may have problems with the test step of the build procedure
1059reporting differences when it compares the original and test images.  If the
1060error points to the last block of the files, it is most likely bogus and may
1061be safely ignored.  It seems to be because the files are Stream_LF and
1062Backup/Compare has difficulty with the (presumably) null padded files.
1063This problem was not observed on VAX/VMS v6.1 or AXP/VMS v6.1.
