#18 MS-DOS line terminations in jpegsr6.zip

[Anonymous]

The 'configure' script in the 'jpegsr6.zip' file that I downloaded has lines that terminate with the MS-DOS line ending, 0x0D0x0A. To run the script on my linux system, it was necessary to strip these off and replace them with the civilized Unix/Linux EOL character, 0x0A. After doing this, it was possible to run the configure script. Suggestions: 1) fix these line endings; 2) provide a .tar.gz file instead of a .zip file.

You are complaining about an antique file released in 2008? I see a
jpegsrc.v6b.tar.gz file at
https://sourceforge.net/projects/libjpeg/files/libjpeg/6b/ and maybe
it has Unix line endings.

These files are no longer maintained given that IJG JPEG moved on to
different maintainership and the emergence of the competing Turbo
JPEG project.
