MXE compilation, openjpeg.h not found error

Question

I am compiling MXE for the cross-compilation of FFmpeg. I am following the instructions here and after running the make command, the following error occurred:

It seems that it was unable to find openjpeg.h and searched in folder openjpeg-2.0 to openjpeg-2.3. However, when I checked /mxe/usr/i686-w64-mingw32.static/include/, it contains openjpeg-2.4.

The log for /mxe/log/gdal_i686-w64-mingw32.static is present here.

Please help fix this. Thanks.

Answer 1

gdal is installing 2.4 which is an issue. Run this make command make gdal_CONFIGURE_OPTS=--with-openjpeg=no ... to turn it off.
