Title: Running flashtool on Linux
Post by: zevv on May 08, 2018, 03:26:41 pm

The Linux Flashtool depends on a number of libraries of which most are available on 'modern' Linux systems, with the notable exception of libjpeg.so.8, resulting in a message like this:

Code: [Select]

./flash_tool: error while loading shared libraries: libjpeg.so.8: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Attached to this post is a x86_64 version of libjpeg.so.8 I built as a workaround. Download, unzip and put in the FlashToolLinux/lib directory.

Thanks for the hint and the attached library. Actually, on my Linux Mint setup I was only missing libpng16-dev, I had no problems with libjpeg. Btw, according to the following thread, libjpeg.so.8 is included in libjpeg-turbo8, which depends on libfontconfig1:
