[Gimp-developer] A new GIMP JPEG-2000 Plugin is now available ...
Hi guys, I checked out the existing GIMP JPEG-2000 plugin and found it to be unstable. It also built against a very old version of OpenJPEG. I have therefore made a new one that should be a little more useful. This new GIMP JPEG-2000 plugin is now available from : http://advance-software.com/download/tools/gimp_j2k.zip The archive includes source and pre-built win32 binaries. To install on win32, copy everything in the install subdirectory into your GIMP plugin directory. No other platform has yet been tested, but it shouldn't take much to get them up running. The current version does not support adjusting the output quality, but should be straightforward to add. You are all of course welcome to modify, distribute, use and provide feedback. The Windows version currently builds in console mode, with a Cygwin dependency. I've announced this here : http://www.gimptalk.com/forum/a-new-gimp-jpeg-2000-plugin-is-now-available-- t35058.html You are welcome to do likewise elsewhere, or to do anything else of interest with this work. JPEG-2000 is an excellent file format. It would be great to get this work finished, cross platform and included with the standard GIMP distribution. Enjoy !

In order to speed up the process of considering adding this to vanilla GIMP you should try this on Linux to make sure it works nicely and also provide a patch against SVN trunk. It also must be possible to set the output quality of course.

Hi Martin, Agree this should be tested on Linux and other supported platforms. Also agree an output quality slider is also required, ideally with a real-time preview versus the original to enable optimal use. Can anyone point me at a link explaining how to switch the compiler/linker to msdev , so I can remove the cygwin dependency ? I could do this by taking apart the makefiles and figuring out the library dependencies, but a more straightforward solution should exist. I also had to add a WinMain command line to argc,argv convertor to gimp.h - you're welcome to merge. This was copy pasted from the net - I didn't write it, so it would be worth someone checking it's ok. I was surprised I needed to do this. Maybe I have a faulty build environment .. ? I am not going to be able to allocate much time to this at the moment as we are a small, struggling start up. If anyone else wants to pick this up and run with it, you are most welcome to do so ! Anyway, this was a quick dirty get it up and running first pass. Still work to do, but it's a start ! Best regards, Steve.

Well I'm not sure it is valid to call it faulty since you've obviously managed to build something with it, but it doesn't sound as if you at all use the build system GIMP is meant to be build with, namely autotools (Automake, Autoconf etc). AFAIK if you are going to build GIMP on Windows you should use mingw+msys with autotools and friends. Doing it is a terrible experience though and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. (The more or less official Windows build of GIMP isn't even built on Windows but cross compiled on Linux.)
