Independant JPEG Group library Version 4.0r2 of the HDF-netCDF library now uses v6a of the Independent JPEG Group (IJG) JPEG file access library. For most users of the HDF library, this will be completely transparent. For users who are integrating the HDF library into an existing application which uses the IJG's JPEG library, linking with the HDF library is now much simpler and should be completely painless. The JPEG library will need to be linked with user's applications when raster images are being used (whether they are compressed with JPEG or not). cc -o myprog.c -I \ Note: order of the libraries is important, the mfhdf library must be first and be followed by the hdf library.
