Description

jp2a is a small utility that converts JPG images to ASCII. jp2a is written in C and released under the GNU General Public License v2 or later.

You need jpeglib to compile jp2a. On Mac OS X I do a

sudo port install jpeg

and then:

./configure --with-jpeg-prefix=/opt/local
make
make install

The --with-jpeg-prefix option above means that configure will look for /opt/local/include/jpeglib.h and will link against /opt/local/lib/libjpeg.a. While many systems do have libjpeg.a installed, they lack the development headers. These can be downloaded from http://www.igj.org.
