Loading and Saving JPEG in plain Win32

[Luzipher]

Hi !

I want to load and save JPEG images in a Windows Program. My search in this forum showed me, that most people seem to use jpeg.hpp. But I couldn't find that file, and I believe it's used by some Builder App ??
Whatever, I just search for an easy way to load and save JPEGs, so if you know one, please tell me.
I already tried the libraries form The Independent JPEG Group (which are free), but I couldn't get it running (mostly because of their weird memory managing, I believe).

Thanks for any help.

Hm, I think it's Borland C++ 5.01
I searched for the file and didn't find anything.

You can download jpeg.hpp here:

Hm, I think I need more than just the jpeg.hpp file. Thanks for your help though.
I think my version of Boarland C++ does not have jpeg support (it is quite old actually v5.01). Well, beside that, I don't know exactly what hpp files are, my Borland C does not have any. It seems like they are header files (.h), just in c++ style, like c->cpp, h->hpp ? At least, I see the jpeg.hpp uses classes and includes a lot of other hpp files.

To come back to my initial question: Has anybody worked with the Independet JPEG groups software and knows how to get it running ? If there is another way of getting jpeg support easily, please tell me, but atm I don't see any ...

Thanks,
Luzipher.

I think I've got it. There have to be made some changes prior to compile the IJG JPEG software with borland in a Windows environment. If somebody is interested:

Now I have a libjpeg.lib I should be able to use.

Thanks anyways to everybody who tried to help !
