Julien,

This is a common problem.  Are you building with an external libjpeg or
the built in copy?  The built-in copy is supposed to work fine but there
are things that need to be tweaked with an external copy.  Andrey knows the
details but he may not be able to answer email today.

I ended up hacking tif_jpeg.c for my OpenEV_FW 1.8.2 build a bit but Andrey's
suggestion was actually to slightly modify the jconfig.h file in libjpeg.
However, I didn't keep track of the details.

It all relates to differing sizes for the bool type, and the need to keep
them consistent between how things are built for tif_jpeg.c and within libjpeg
itself.   If you search for "boolean" in tif_jpeg.c you will see some
discussion of the issue.  There is also at least one bugzilla report on
the problem though I don't have a link off hand.

Best regards,
