Version: (using KDE 4.1.2) Installed from: Gentoo Packages Digikam cannot be built without the Jasper library. It would be nice if this were possible.
What's the problem with Jasper library exactly ? This library is available for all system BOX normally (linux/mac/win32)... Gilles Caulier
At one point, Jasper was non-Free and GPL-incompatible. Now, it's just a mostly useless (since nobody uses jpeg2000) dependency.
Luke-Jr, Jasper is non GPL ??? really ??? KDE core use it. and this library is installed on standard by linux dist like Mandriva full GPL edition... I cannot see a licence problem here... Note : there is an alternative to Jasper : openJpeg. But for the moment, performance are lesser than Jasper. Gilles Caulier
Jasper licence : http://www.ece.uvic.ca/~mdadams/jasper/LICENSE sound like GPL compatible... Gilles Caulier
Openjpeg is published to BSD licence: http://www.openjpeg.org/BSDlicense.txt Gilles Caulier
*At one point* Japser was non-Free and GPL-incompatible. It has since changed to a BSD-like license.
Sorry, but i cannot see a fine reason to add an option to disable native JPEG 2000 support in digiKam Gilles Caulier
