'IMG_Load() with jpg returns "unsupported image format"

I'm trying to load images using SDL2-image, it works when I try to load a .png, but it fails to recognize a .jpg

My imports:

#include <SDL2/SDL.h>
#undef main
#include <SDL2/SDL_image.h>
#include "logger.hpp"

And my code:

int main(int argc, char **argv) {
  if (SDL_Init(SDL_INIT_VIDEO) != 0) {
    logger::Log(logger::DEBUG, "Could not initialize SDL (%s)", SDL_GetError());
  }
  int flags = IMG_INIT_JPG | IMG_INIT_PNG;
  int initRes = IMG_Init(flags);
  if (initRes & flags != flags) {
      logger::Log(logger::DEBUG, "IMG_Init: Failed to init required jpg and png support!");
      logger::Log(logger::DEBUG, "IMG_Init: %s", IMG_GetError());
  }
  else logger::Log(logger::DEBUG, "JPG AND PNG SUPPORTED");
  SDL_Surface* surface = IMG_Load("image.jpg");
  if (!surface) {
      logger::Log(logger::DEBUG, "surface error: %s", IMG_GetError());
  }
  else {
      logger::Log(logger::DEBUG, "LOADED");
  }
...
}

Which gives me

JPG AND PNG SUPPORTED
surface error: Unsupported image format

There are installed and integrated via vcpkg: SDL2-image, libjpeg-turbo, libpng and zlib, so I basically have no idea why this is happening

Solution 1:[1]

Due to operator precedence initRes & flags != flags is equivalent to initRes & (flags != flags) which will always be false. You need to use (initRes & flags) != flags instead.

Jpeg support is an optional feature, you need to enable libjpeg-turbo.
