On a processor that supports SIMD instructions (MMX, SSE, etc), it runs 2-3 times faster than the original version of JPEG library." It's Japanese, but it's simple understand what is needed to download ;) I've successfully compiled the library with the free Borland BCC5.5, and now I have the .obj needed by Delphi jpeg unit wrapper. But the NASM (Netwide Assembler) .obj seems incompatible with Delphi linker (directive $L} ) "Bad object file format xxxxxx.obj" is the error. Searching on internet seems that "DELPHI linker is quite picky"... I tried several solution and finally get rid of this error "bad object format..." ... but another one appear "Unsatisfied forward or external declaration ..." this time for C++ obj file Someone have an idea how link these objs? Can be interesting this project? I think if work we can have a very fast jpeg unit!

I'm trying to modify the jpeglib.h right now...but still the same error "Unsatisfied forward or external..." Doesn't it go on to state exactly which externals are missing? The real clues are in what the message actually says. Without knowing the full message. speculation is unfounded. Back to top Andrea M.

The real clues are in what the message actually says. Without knowing the full message. speculation is unfounded. well, you are right... but ALL the functions declared as external are "unsatisfied". procedure jpeg_CreateDecompress (var cinfo : jpeg_decompress_struct; version : integer; structsize : integer); {$IFDEF LINUX} cdecl; {$ENDIF} external {$IFDEF JPEGSO} 'libjpeg.so' name 'jpeg_CreateDecompress' {$ENDIF}; and this is the error [Error] jpeg.pas(862): Unsatisfied forward or external declaration: 'jpeg_CreateDecompress' The error is the same for all the functions jpeg_stdio_src jpeg_read_header jpeg_calc_output_dimensions etc. if I rename, prefixing them with underscore procedure _jpeg_CreateDecompress (... it's ok, but still remains other "Unsatisfied forward or external declaration": [Error] jpeg.pas(1945): ... '_getenv' [Error] jpeg.pas(1945): ... '_sscanf' and [Error] jpeg.pas(1945): ... '_jconst_merged_upsample_sse2' [Error] jpeg.pas(1945): ... '_jpeg_h2v2_merged_upsample_sse2' those last are for NASM generated obj, but they are not linked directly by Delphi code. I've already used NASM and C obj linking them in delphi without any problem, so I do not know why this library is so difficult to link.

C function names default to leading underscore. yes, they are all C functions and must be prefixed by an underscore, thanks. Now, the C functions names are solved.

You probably didn't include the CRTL You could either replace those functions with WinApi functions, or add the appropriate lib to your link. I see, but in the original unit there is no need for those functions... and I wonder what a sscanf and getenv can be useful to a decompressor... But this is not a problem right now, I can replace them with dummy or real functions. The problem is NASM obj Quote: [Error] jpeg.pas(1945): ...

Because the exports (if I followed this thread correctly) have a leading underscore, they are STDCALL, yes.
