mozjpeg pre-build test failed

[bshack]

not sure if I should be posting this here or in mozjpeg but mozjpeg is failing for me on OS X 10.11:

Can you update NASM and try installation again?

Anyway, the prebuilt binary should work. In my OS X 10.11.4 (15E65) npm install mozjpeg shows the message "optipng pre-build test passed successfully" as I expected. I don't know the root cause of the installation failure in your OS.

[bshack]

Mine is a fresh install of os x 10.11.4

[bshack]

I also have the latest Xcode updates

[nathangaw]

Hi - I'm getting exactly the same error on OS X 10.11.4, with NASM version 2.12.01.

[shinnn]

@bshack @nathangaw Could you try to build mozjpeg from the v3.1 source in your OS https://github.com/mozilla/mozjpeg/releases/tag/v3.1, then provide me the built binary?

[shinnn]

If you successfully build the mozjpeg binary and it works on both my Mac and yours, I'll replace the current binary with the newly built one.

[shelldandy]

I'm having the same error, it used to work fine, but after the Xcode Update this got broken 😢

[bshack]

@shinnn are you able to reproduce this issue after installing all the latest xcode updates?

[shinnn]

@bshack No.

Also I added OSX test to the mozjpeg npm package in https://github.com/imagemin/mozjpeg-bin/commit/b0bd5cdd7fc276891701642584ad9bb2422178a0. It runs with OSX v10.11 and Xcode v7.3 and, in contrast to @mike3run's comment https://github.com/imagemin/imagemin/issues/168#issuecomment-217732098, it passes the build test.

[bshack]

hmm.. not sure what is up. I am rolling back to 2.x.x for my stuff.

[shelldandy]

I can tell you what was the difference with mine a probably the OP.

I always npm-cache install to help with load times, but this time besides the xcode update i had deleted all of my node projects so the install was made from scratch and no catching was done.

Then I think that's where the problem is, try running that without having any other functional imagemin on your computer :)

[shelldandy]

Try running also node node_modules/mozjpeg/lib/install.js to try the build manually

[chrisvanpatten]

I got a similar error. Here's what I did to fix it; hopefully this helps someone else!

1. Update Xcode command line tools to latest release
2. brew install nasm (I was using the bundled OS X version 0.98.40, now using 2.11.08)
3. npm cache clean
4. npm install

Still getting an error with the cjpeg binary, but the build from source works now.

[shelldandy]

What @chrisvanpatten did worked for me as well.

The binary fails but then the build from source works. :)

[afzal273]

How do you build from source on OS X?

I'm still getting - /node_modules/imagemin-mozjpeg/node_modules/mozjpeg/vendor/cjpeg` binary doesn't seem to work correctly

[shelldandy]

You can try what @chrisvanpatten said 2 comments above yours or you could also use node LTS version which is 4.4.5

Apparently there are tons of bugs running Node 6.0 +

So unless you're an active node dev you should stay on 4.4.5 :)

[afzal273]

Already did what @chrisvanpatten said and my node version is 4.4.4.

Chris also says to do build from source. How do you do that?

[shelldandy]

Okay so just try to npm install imagemin again :)

That worked for me but you could also cd into node_modules > mozjpeg > test and run node test

That should try to build it but you need to have done what @chrisvanpatten said

[artmatsak]

cjpeg managed to build from source after I installed a newer version of nasm via MacPorts. However, cjpeg now exits with a segmentation fault when invoked from a parent dir, or is unable to process a JPEG file when invoked from its dir:

$ ./node_modules/imagemin-mozjpeg/node_modules/mozjpeg/vendor/cjpeg ~/Downloads/test.jpg
Segmentation fault: 11
$ cd node_modules/imagemin-mozjpeg/node_modules/mozjpeg/vendor
$ ./cjpeg ~/Downloads/test.jpg
Unrecognized input file format --- perhaps you need -targa

Any suggestions please? OS X 10.12 here.

[artmatsak]

Update: Installing mozjpeg first via npm install mozjpeg also leads to building from source but seems to produce a non-faulty cjpeg.

[wmartins]

I don't know if @bshack is still having problems with that, but I was struggling with the same problem yesterday and I think that I've found a solution.

My Scenario: building a project that uses imagemin inside a docker container using alpine linux.

Solution: install the following alpine packages:

• libpng-dev
• autoconf
• automake
• make
• g++
• libtool
• nasm

After installing that, I was able to compile the binaries.

I don't know if it helps, but I'm adding it here, so anyone can try this when having same problems.

[westyby]

This bug reproduced on CentOS 6.8 witn node.js v6.9.4. But when I install yum install wget autoconf automake gcc nasm libtool, I successfully compiled mozjpeg

[ahgittin]

This fixed the source build for me on Mac Sierra:

sudo port install automake autoconf libtool dpkg pkgconfig nasm

[jmeit]

On Ubuntu 16.04, sudo apt install nasm worked for me!

[LitvinenkoEvgeny]

hey guys did you try this ? https://github.com/mozilla/mozjpeg/issues/99#issuecomment-52628719

[desmond132518]

On MacOS 10.11.6, I did this

brew install automake autoconf libtool dpkg pkgconfig nasm libpng
