/MyFolder/../../../jpeg-8a/jpeglib.h:25: error: jconfig.h: No such file or directory

Cause

IDE: Qt Creator 1.3.1

Project type: Qt4 Console Application

Selected required modules: QtCore

Compiler: G++ 4.4.1

Boost version: 1.42.0

Additional libraries: jpeg-8a from the Independent JPEG Group

The following code caused the error:


#include <boost/gil/extension/io/jpeg_dynamic_io.hpp>

The following project file was used:


#-------------------------------------------------

# Project created by QtCreator 2010-05-02T08:31:54

QT       -= gui

TARGET = MyProjectName

CONFIG   += console

CONFIG   -= app_bundle

INCLUDEPATH += ../../../boost_1_42_0 ../../../jpeg-8a

TEMPLATE = app

SOURCES += main.cpp

Solution

You need to build the the jpeg-8a library, as this will create the file jconfig.h. Go to the jpeg-8a library folder and read the install.txt file.

When using Ubuntu 10.04, the following commands worked for me:


./configure

make

make test

sudo make install

You will probably need to add the following line to your project file:


LIBS += -L/usr/local/lib -ljpeg

Failed attempts

Remove the jpeg-8a library

Remove the jpeg-8a library from the INCLUDEPATH.

Then, you might then get the jpeglib.h: No such file or directory compile error.
