It builds out of the box, when you make a link called "nasm" to the yasm binary
in Haiku. It produces a libjpeg.so.62.0.0 besides libturbojpeg.so. Dunno if
that is supposed to be binary compatible to our libjpeg.so.8.0. It would seem
it's supposed to be binary compatible to libjpeg.so.62.0.0. ;-) Comparing the
headers also reveals a few differences, though I am almost sure we don't use
any of those features which are different.
Best regards,
