[OpenIndiana-discuss] Pending Desktop features for 2017.04 need volunteers

[Aurélien Larcher]

Hello,
You are right.
I took the liberty of posting dev-related things to the discuss list to be
more inclusive and get broader feedback.

Yes it requires some learning, it took me some time to get started.

I tried to summarize the workflow here:

Not really because for backward compatibility IJG libjpeg should stay in
/usr/lib.

I defined JPEG_* macros at:

https://github.com/OpenIndiana/oi-userland/blob/oi/hipster/make-rules/shared-macros.mk#L701

so these compilation and link flags should be added to any component using
libjpeg.

The task is to:
1) add the JPEG_CFLAGS, JPEG_CXXFLAGS. JPEG_LDFLAGS such that libjpeg-turbo
is picked
2) update the dependencies as you suggested.

Kind regards

Aurélien
