I tried to compile this package on Linux Mint 18.3 and it gets past this point if you have libltdl-dev on that platform.However, I do get compile errors later on.
jpegstream.cc: In member function 'virtual iscan::basic_imgstream& iscan::jpegstream::write(const byte_type*, iscan::jpegstream::size_type)':
jpegstream.cc:85:55: error: call of overloaded 'div(unsigned int&, long unsigned int)' is ambiguous
             div_t index = div (i, 8 * sizeof (JSAMPLE));


I haven't had time to look into it further, but it might be 64-bit type size related, since I'm compiling this on a 64-bit platform.
Looks to me like you're in for a world of hurt going down this road. :(
I will have another look later on.
Cheers,Ralph
