Hi when I try and install mjpegtools-1.6.1 I get this error
with the configuration process (ie when I type ./configure):

checking for GLIB - version >= 1.2.0... no
*** The glib-config script installed by GLIB could not be found
*** If GLIB was installed in PREFIX, make sure PREFIX/bin is in
*** your path, or set the GLIB_CONFIG environment variable to the
*** full path to glib-config.
configure: error: "You need to install GLib - you can find it on

The problem is that I just can't configure, compile and install
GLIB on my CYGWIN system. I am running CYGWIN on windows NT (X86)
build system type... i686-pc-cygwin
host system type... i686-pc-cygwin
and I have the latest gcc installed and everything else that GLIB
needs. 

My question is: Is there any way of installing mjpegtools without
having to install GLIB? or is there a special process for installing
GLIB that I am not aware of.


thanks
Kwaku

"MJPEG", do you mean AVI files with a MJPEG stream in them? Well, as I
said, that's just MJPEG in an AVI container, do you'd probably want to
look through Microsoft's or IBM's RIFF/AVI documentation to get a good
fundamental understanding on that.
Or do you mean the MJPEG video strwam on itself? (Really, this is as
simple as a stream can get, it's just a sequence of JPEG images (in YUY2
colorspace), no special markers, nothing).

That's what the AVI container handles. Every data chunk in a RIFF file
(AVI) is preceeded by an identifying tag (00db for video, 00wb for
audio) and then a 4-byte size value with the least-significant byte
first (so a uint32_t on little-endian systems). Then the data itself.
The data chunks are preceded by the normal AVI header (RIFF header,
vids/strf:vids header and auds/strf:auds header). After the data chunks
usually comes an index of all the data chunks, though this isn't
necesssary.

For YUV-to-MJPEG/AVI, we use the yuv2lav tool, you'd probably want to
look at the sources there to get a good basic understanding of all this.
If you just want to use the tool, take our latest RPM (1.6.1).

HTH,

Ronald
