Go JPEG Encode and Decode via TurboJPEG v3

Simple JPEG Encoder and Decoder. Can often be used instead of Go's JPEG encoder and decoder:

 import (
-    "image/jpeg"
+    jpeg "github.com/fzwoch/tj3"
 )

or, if you only want the transparent decoding feature:

 import (
     "image"
-    _ "image/jpeg"
+    _ "github.com/fzwoch/tj3"
 )

Cgo

At build time of your application you will need to tell the Go compiler where to find the TurboJPEG header and library files. Check Go's cgo documentation for more details.

export CGO_CFLAGS="-I/path/to/libjpeg-turbo/header-files"
export CGO_LDFLAGS="-L/path/to/libjpeg-turbo/library"

For example, if your system has pkg-config, here is how to run tests:

CGO_CFLAGS=`pkg-config --cflags libturbojpeg` \
CGO_LDFLAGS=`pkg-config --libs libturbojpeg` \
go test -v
