T P, You are probably right - any such package will have some dependency. But as long as I can resolve all dependencies at compile-time, I don't care. The point is to avoid having binary dependencies which will have to be pre-installed by the end-user. I'm developing a desktop application which uses node-webkit, so I would like to ship *one* package that already contains everything.
I'll look into Leptonica. If libjpeg and the others can be statically linked to my code, that might be a good solution. BTW, Boost's GIL <http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_55_0/libs/gil/doc/index.html> also seems like a good candidate, in case any one else is interested. It also needs libjpeg, libpng, etc. Thanks!
