Peng,

In my Kakadu 4.0.2 distribution jp2_local.h was found in the apps/jp2
directory.  Do you not have it there?  Unfortunately, the windows Kakadu
related build stuff is pretty sloppy.  I honestly never thought more than
one or two people would go through the trouble of getting a license for
Kakadu so they could build it, so I never made any effort make building
sensible.  Of course, it didn't help that Kakadu treats a whack of their
stuff as "application specific" and not part of the base library.

Given that you are a licensee I can provide my copy of the Kakadu code extracted
and built in a single directory as a bunch of object files if you would like.
That should "shortcut" what might otherwise be a bunch of hassles getting
the Kakadu to build.

Best regards,
