Requirements

To be able to build and run libgpujpeg library and gpujpeg console application you need:

• CUDA Toolkit (http://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-toolkit) installed (which contains NPP libraray), default installation path is /usr/local/cuda. If you have the CUDA installed somewhere else, you need to specify it by environment variable CUDA_INSTALL_PATH or in Makefiles by CUDA_INSTALL_PATH variable.
• NVIDIA developer drivers
• CUDA enabled NVIDIA GPU

The libgpujpeg library uses NVIDIA Performance Primitives library, but it is included in CUDA toolkit. There were some build error in npp headers when using some specific versions of GCC and NPP library. If you encounter these kind of problem, try to use the newest version of CUDA toolkit or older version of GCC.
