jpegoptim 1.2.4 for Windows

[nikkho]

After reading the forum topic at http://encode.su/threads/936-Suggest...ic-compression I noticed that jpegoptim is at version 1.2.4 (http://www.kokkonen.net/tjko/projects.html), while the latest Windows build I have been able to find is 1.2.2 (http://sourceforge.net/projects/jpeg...m-1.2.2-win32/).

I tried to build 1.2.4, and even if compiled and linked fine against supplied libjpeg6b, it did not work for me (always an error after parsing JPEG markers), tried to build with the original 1.2.2 windows sources, and the same problem. The same happened if moving forward to libjpeg8d, in both jpegoptim 1.2.2. and 1.2.4.

Has anyone been able to compile it, and can post the updated binaries?

[nikkho]

Just in case any one is interested, here is the custom build of jpegoptim 1.2.4 for Windows.

It has been a non trivial task, merging the changes from [COLOR=#0000FF ]http://sourceforge.net/projects/jpegoptim/[/COLOR] to the latest codebase, so in order to keep it clean, it was with ifdefs

I have compiled it with latest lijpeg 8d, and is available for Win32 and Win64.

I have sent the updated codebase to Timo Kokkonen nevertheless, hope it will be integrated in the future.

Sources and executables are attached.

Thanks. I'm running the x64 version on my W7/64 system and it's working fine.

Nice! It is a pleasure it has been useful for you too.

It fails to start on my computer (WinXP/SP2). Processed with PETrim?

[nikkho]

Thank you for the report Jaff.
Unfortunatelly current Visual C++ 2012 version, is not able to target Windows XP or lower. It is stated that Microsoft will release an update soon to fix this problem.

Regards.

Microsoft's not so subtle push to get the 40% of users still running XP to upgrade...

I think you meant "update".

[Black_Fox]

Update would mean to just run Windows Update, wouldn't it? Upgrading is not limited to HW.

[Jaff]

Offtopic: I don't need any "updates" of XP including SP3 or to install Micro$hit Win Vista/7 on a hardware that cannot handle it. Also don't need any visual improvements of OS sacrifying resources for that.
Back to topic: Is any chance to compile it with an alternative to Visual C++ 2012 or VS10 wich supports WinXP?
Edit: some beta version with libjpeg v9 (planned for release in January 2013)? http://www.infai.org/jpeg/

Upgrade:
transitive verb
: to raise or improve the grade of: as
a : to improve (livestock) by use of purebred sires
b : to advance to a job requiring a higher level of skill especially as part of a training program
c : to raise the quality of
d : to raise the classification and usually the price of without improving the quality
e : to extend the usefulness of (as a device)
f : to assign a less serious status to <upgraded the patient's condition to good>
intransitive verb
: to improve or replace especially software or a device for increased usefulness

Change from XP to Vista is neither of the above for many users and I believe it's especially true for people who still run XP.
Update doesn't suggest improvement and therefore is universally correct.

[Black_Fox]

@m^2: then it is "d : to raise the classification and usually the price of without improving the quality" But yeah, even though I meant more of 7 instead of Vista, you're right.

@Jaff:

However, on June 15, 2012, a blog post on the VC++ Team blog announced that based on customer feedback, Microsoft would re-introduce native support for Windows XP targets (though not for XP as a development platform) in a version of Visual C++ to be released later in the fall of 2012.

[Jaff]

Anyway, if jpegoptim doesn't rely on any dependencies of system it might be compiled for DOS too. After all is a command line tool, right?
P.S. MS lied about support for XP until 2014

I am very sorry I do not have Visual C++ 2010 installed anymore.
My package includes patched source files, and solution, so it should not be complicated to build it some one has it.
I also contacted original JPEGOptim developer in order to integrate my source changes in the trunk, but no luck...

For the 32bit exe I have its CRC32 is 2DACC808 running on Win7 32bit, and 7zip summary attachment identifies as normal PE (PNG atached)

Right. As I said my binaries work fine on Vista, 7 and 8. They even do on 2003, 2008 and 2012, but not in XP due to some missing API from the Visual C++ 2012 C library that will be fixed in a future VC++ update.
On the 64 bit side, they work on XP, since it is based on the 2003 kernel.

Hi, if is of some use here is a win32, xp compatible, Jpegeoptim 1.2.4.
Let me know if is working well.

NB: tnx to nikkho for sources.

[Jaff]

After copying msvcrt100d.dll to .exe folder it works! Thank you!

[nikkho]

As promised, Visual C++ 2012 Update 1 is finally here. That is why I have been able to compile jpegoptim 1.2.4 again with that version, enabling Windows XP compatibility.

It is included as a part of FileOptimizer (http://encode.su/threads/1589-FileOp...ll=1#post31577), but I can post here Win32 as well as Win64 binaries if required.

As a difference with the NaN build, it is statically linked so no external Visual C++ DLL are needed.

libjpeg v9 released 2 days ago. Any updated version? http://www.infai.org/jpeg/

[roytam1]

I always wonder if there are differences between jpegoptim and jpegtrans -optimize.

I think so.

Note that JPEG9 has "modes" that are no longer JPEG. For example, -rgb1 generates images that are not conforming to the JPEG specifications. Just stay away from this software, the author just puts in all the stuff he likes, generating formats that do not comply to anything. Please don't be confused by the name, this software is not assoicated to JPEG at all, it's a software based on the IJG core, that's all.

I have just updated it to latest 1.3.0 codebase, and compiled with libjpeg 9.
