Building on Debian 9, does not have libjpeg8

[CloudyProton]

I cannot build glmark2 on Debian 9 as stretch does not have libjpeg8. The waf configuration errors out with Checking for library jpeg : not found. Is there a workaround for getting libjpeg.so.8 library in place?

Hi! On Debian you should install the libjpeg-dev package which will bring in libjpeg62-turbo, which is the current Debian default. glmark2 doesn't need a later version.

Even with that package, it still does not find the library or libjpeg.h. I may have to rip these components out from a distro that has these.

This is strange. Can you please try doing a clean build (i.e., remove the build/ directory and configure from start), and attach the resulting build/config.log file? Also please paste the output of
apt list --installed 'libjpeg*'.

This is from a clean run today cloned from master, running "./waf configure --with-flavors=x11-gl". Debian 9 includes libjpeg62-turbo out of the box which I can maybe get playing nice via a big dirty web of symlinks but I'd really rather not.

config.log

libjpeg62-turbo/stable,now 1:1.5.1-2 amd64 [installed,automatic]

Assuming the output from the 'apt list...' command is complete, it seems you are missing the -dev package for libjpeg, which provides the appropriate header files and shared library links. You can install it with apt install libjpeg-dev.
