Hi,

Thanks for the recent JXRVersion.h fix! Unfortunately, freeimage 3.18.0-24 still fails to build with jxrlib 1.4.4-3:

`fatal error: JXRGlue.h: No such file or directory`

The Makefile still uses /usr/include/jxrlib, but jxrlib now installs its headers under /usr/include/libjxr/.

I updated the include paths in both Makefile.gnu and Makefile.fip and successfully built and installed the package.

Here's the patch with the fix for PKGBUILD :

@emgym: do you have a build log showing the error? I fail to reproduce the linking problem in a build chroot..

andreas_baumann commented on 2026-03-06 08:51 (UTC)

Sigh, yes. Don't know what to do here: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1121912

Keeping it around for some projects that have to move fast away, I guest, and I make a pinned remark about the vulnerabilities.

emgym commented on 2026-03-04 03:32 (UTC)

openmp package is needed to build this, otherwise you get the missing -lomp error in build output

I have packaged freeimagere-git... but be aware that FreeImageRE has a few (minor) differences from FreeImage, it's not a straight drop-in replacement.

oysstu commented on 2025-08-15 12:39 (UTC)

Thanks for packaging this. Note that freeimage was dropped from the extra repo because as it's unmaintained and contains multiple known security issues.

https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/packaging/packages/freeimage/-/issues/1

There's a maintained fork here: https://github.com/agruzdev/FreeImageRe but I don't have time to package it right now.
