### ROCm via TheRock
rocJPEG is built and installed as part of [TheRock](https://github.com/ROCm/TheRock). All core dependencies are provided by the TheRock build, including:
* HIP runtime and development libraries
* AMD Clang++ compiler (C++17 required)
* Libva and VA-API drivers
* Libdrm (amdgpu)
* CMake and pkg-config
## Build and install
rocJPEG is built as part of [TheRock](https://github.com/ROCm/TheRock). To build standalone from source:
```shell
git clone https://github.com/ROCm/rocm-systems.git
cd rocm-systems/projects/rocjpeg
mkdir build && cd build
cmake ../
make -j8
sudo make install
```
### Run tests
```shell
make test
```
> [!NOTE]
> To run tests with verbose option, use `make test ARGS="-VV"`.
## Verify installation
After installation, the following files are available:
* Libraries in `/opt/rocm/lib`
* Header files in `/opt/rocm/include/rocjpeg`
* Samples in `/opt/rocm/share/rocjpeg`
* Documents in `/opt/rocm/share/doc/rocjpeg`
### Using sample application
To verify your installation using a sample application, run:
```shell
mkdir rocjpeg-sample && cd rocjpeg-sample
cmake /opt/rocm/share/rocjpeg/samples/jpegDecode/
make -j8
./jpegdecode -i /opt/rocm/share/rocjpeg/images/mug_420.jpg
```
### Using CTest
To verify your installation using CTest, run:
```shell
mkdir rocjpeg-test && cd rocjpeg-test
cmake /opt/rocm/share/rocjpeg/test/
ctest -VV
```
## Samples
You can access samples to decode your images in the
[samples](https://github.com/ROCm/rocm-systems/tree/develop/projects/rocjpeg/samples) directory. Refer to the
individual folders to build and run the samples.
## Tested configurations
* Linux
* Ubuntu - `22.04` / `24.04`
* [TheRock](https://github.com/ROCm/TheRock) - `7.12` or later
