No, you don't need to put the sources into the project. Actually, that=20
should never be done.

You need to get the sources of the library, that you wish to use (in=20
this case jpeglib?). Then compile the static version of the library. How=20
to do that? Well, it depends heavily on the library that you're using.=20
Look around in the docs of the library to see how to compile the static=20
version of it. It will get you a libxxx.a file, where possibly xxx is=20
the name of the library. Then place it to a place, where GCC (Dev-C++)=20
can find it (maybe <DEVCPP>\lib), then add -lxxx to your project librarie=
s.
The symbols will be "hard-linked" into the exe from the lib.
