Re: [Libjpeg-turbo-users] Changing the name of the built library from libjpeg on Linux

[DRC <dco...@us...>]

Why not just install it under /opt/libjpeg-turbo?  That is the default
install prefix precisely for this reason.  You can then manipulate
LD_LIBRARY_PATH to use libjpeg-turbo in /opt/libjpeg-turbo rather than
libjpeg in /usr.

If you really need to change the name, then change all instances of
"libjpeg.la" and "libjpeg_la" in Makefile.am, but this is far from a
supported configuration.  One of the reasons why libjpeg-turbo uses the
same library name as libjpeg is so it can be substituted at run time,
which is why the default is to install it under /opt.
