Re: Building LO 6.1.4.2 --with-system-jpeg and jpeg-9c fails

Hello Caolán,

what is the usefulness of a test, that behaves differently with different jpeg libraries, but none of the test-outcomes is clearly wrong?

Provided nobody states, that this test has an added value, I propose removing it completely.

Playing with build options costs just too much time and there are other issues (see my other mails) that forces one to try different --with(out)- combinations.  So removing this tests makes life simpler and causes no side effects.

Regards
  Дилян
