Hi, everyone.

I suppose my question can be best answered by Yaakov so in the next
lines I prefer
to address him.

First of all thank you for many useful packages you mantain for cygwin.

I'm trying to build poppler library for mingw runtime and encountered some
problems with mingw-jpeg package. Its jconfig.h is rather different
from original.

1. It defines const as macros to empty string so it can break cpp code
than includes it.
2. It doesn't define boolean to unsigned char on windows as original
header does while
the mingw-jpeg library itself seems to be compiled with boolean set to
integer as if
it would be nether clashed with windows.h.

My question is what is the rationale for that.

It's possible to tweak poppler to be built with such config of jpeg
but it takes time to
investigate and I guess poppler could *just* be build if mingw-jpeg
follows original jconfig.h
