The purpose of this validation package is to ensure that NIST's execution of your SDK submission produces the expected output. The code provided here is meant only for validation purposes and does not reflect how NIST will perform actual testing.

To successfully complete the validation process, please perform the following steps:

1) The Makefile is located in the ./src/bin directory. Modify it as necessary such that it creates the executables while linking to the appropriate SDK libraries. A recent version of the libjpeg library must be installed on the computer, which can be downloaded from http://www.ijg.org/.

2) Run ./run.csh to produce the validation output in the "./output" directory. Package this directory as a tarball or zip file and send it as an attachment to mbe2010@nist.gov.

Send questions or concerns regarding the source code to gw@nist.gov.
