| Installing libpng version 1.0.8rc1 - July 17, 2000 |
| |
| Before installing libpng, you must first install zlib. zlib |
| can usually be found wherever you got libpng. zlib can be |
| placed in another directory, at the same level as libpng. |
| Note that your system might already have a preinstalled |
| zlib, but you will still need to have access to the |
| zlib.h and zconf.h include files that correspond to the |
| version of zlib that's installed. |
| |
| You can rename the directories that you downloaded (they |
| might be called "libpng-1.0.8rc1" or "lpng107" and "zlib-1.1.3" |
| or "zlib113") so that you have directories called "zlib" and "libpng". |
| |
| Your directory structure should look like this: |
| |
| .. (the parent directory) |
| libpng (this directory) |
| INSTALL (this file) |
| README |
| *.h |
| *.c |
| contrib |
| gregbook |
| msvctest |
| pngminus |
| pngsuite |
| visupng |
| msvc |
| scripts |
| makefile.* |
| pngtest.png |
| wince |
| etc. |
| zlib |
| README |
| *.h |
| *.c |
| contrib |
| etc. |
| |
| If the line endings in the files look funny, you may wish to get the other |
| distribution of libpng. It is available in both tar.gz (UNIX style line |
| endings) and zip (DOS style line endings) formats. |
| |
| If you are building libpng with MSVC, you can enter the libpng\msvc directory |
| and follow the instructions in msvc\README.txt. You can build libpng for |
| WindowsCE by entering the libpng\wince directory and following the |
| instructions in the README* files. |
| |
| Else enter the zlib directory and follow the instructions in zlib/README, |
| then come back here and choose the appropriate makefile.sys in the scripts |
| directory. |
| |
| The files that are presently available in the scripts directory |
| include |
| |
| makefile.std => Generic UNIX makefile (cc, creates static libpng.a) |
| makefile.linux => Linux/ELF makefile (gcc, creates libpng.so.2.1.0.8rc1) |

| makefile.acorn => Acorn makefile |
| makefile.amiga => Amiga makefile |
| smakefile.ppc => AMIGA smakefile for SAS C V6.58/7.00 PPC compiler |
| (Requires SCOPTIONS, copied from scripts/SCOPTIONS.ppc) |
| makefile.atari => Atari makefile |
| makefile.beos => BEOS makefile for X86 |
| makefile.bor => Borland makefile (uses bcc) |
| makefile.bc32 => 32-bit Borland C++ (all modules compiled in C mode) |
| makefile.bd32 => To make a png32bd.dll with Borland C++ 4.5 |
| makefile.tc3 => Turbo C 3.0 makefile |
| makefile.dj2 => DJGPP 2 makefile |
| makefile.msc => Microsoft C makefile |
| makefile.vcawin32 => makefile for Microsoft Visual C++ 5.0 and later (uses |
| assembler code tuned for Intel MMX platform) |
| makefile.vcwin32 => makefile for Microsoft Visual C++ 4.0 and later (does |
| not use assembler code) |
| makefile.os2 => OS/2 Makefile (gcc and emx, requires pngos2.def) |
| pngos2.def => OS/2 module definition file used by makefile.os2 |
| makefile.watcom => Watcom 10a+ Makefile, 32-bit flat memory model |
| makevms.com => VMS build script |
| descrip.mms => VMS makefile for MMS or MMK |
| pngdef.pas => Defines for a png32bd.dll with Borland C++ 4.5 |
| SCOPTIONS.ppc => Used with smakefile.ppc |
| |
| Copy the file (or files) that you need from the |
| scripts directory into this directory, for example |
| |
| MSDOS example: copy scripts\makefile.msc makefile |
| UNIX example: cp scripts/makefile.std makefile |
| |
| Read the makefile to see if you need to change any source or |
| target directories to match your preferences. |
| |
| Then read pngconf.h to see if you want to make any configuration |
| changes. |
| |
| Then just run "make test" which will create the libpng library in |
| this directory and run a quick test that reads the "pngtest.png" |
| file and writes a "pngout.png" file that should be identical to it. |
| Look for "9782 zero samples" in the output of the test. For more |
| confidence, you can run another test by typing "pngtest pngnow.png" |
| and looking for "289 zero samples" in the output. Also, you can |
| run "pngtest -m *.png" in the "contrib/pngsuite" directory and compare |
| your output with the result shown in contrib/pngsuite/README. |
| |
| Most of the makefiles will allow you to run "make install" to |
| put the library in its final resting place (if you want to |
| do that, run "make install" in the zlib directory first if necessary). |
| |
| Further information can be found in the README and libpng.txt |
| files, in the individual makefiles, in png.h, and the manual pages |
| libpng.3 and png.5. |
