Glenn Randers-Pehrson520a7642000-03-21 05:13:06 -06002Installing libpng version 1.0.6 - March 21, 2000
Glenn Randers-Pehrson08a33431998-03-07 06:06:55 -06003
4Before installing libpng, you must first install zlib. zlib
5can usually be found wherever you got libpng. zlib can be
6placed in another directory, at the same level as libpng.
7Note that your system might already have a preinstalled
Glenn Randers-Pehrson5c6aeb21998-12-29 11:47:59 -06008zlib, but you will still need to have access to the
Glenn Randers-Pehrson08a33431998-03-07 06:06:55 -06009zlib.h and zconf.h include files that correspond to the
10version of zlib that's installed.
11
12You can rename the directories that you downloaded (they
Glenn Randers-Pehrson520a7642000-03-21 05:13:06 -060013might be called "libpng-1.0.6" or "lpng106" and "zlib-1.1.3"
Glenn Randers-Pehrson5c6aeb21998-12-29 11:47:59 -060014or "zlib113") so that you have directories called "zlib" and "libpng".
Glenn Randers-Pehrson08a33431998-03-07 06:06:55 -060015
16Your directory structure should look like this:
17
18 .. (the parent directory)
19 libpng (this directory)
20 INSTALL (this file)
21 README
22 *.h
23 *.c

Glenn Randers-Pehrson61c32d92000-02-04 23:40:16 -060039If the line endings in the files look funny, you may wish to get the other
40distribution of libpng. It is available in both tar.gz (UNIX style line
41endings) and zip (DOS style line endings) formats.
42
Glenn Randers-Pehrson520a7642000-03-21 05:13:06 -060043First enter the zlib directory and follow the instructions in zlib/README.
44Then come back here and choose the appropriate makefile.sys in the scripts
45directory.

90Copy the file (or files) that you need from the
91scripts directory into this directory, for example
92
Glenn Randers-Pehrson860ab2b1999-10-14 07:43:10 -050093 MSDOS example: copy scripts\makefile.msc makefile
Glenn Randers-Pehrson08a33431998-03-07 06:06:55 -060094 UNIX example: cp scripts/makefile.std makefile
95
96Read the makefile to see if you need to change any source or
97target directories to match your preferences.
98
99Then read pngconf.h to see if you want to make any configuration
100changes.
101
102Then just run "make test" which will create the libpng library in
103this directory and run a quick test that reads the "pngtest.png"
104file and writes a "pngout.png" file that should be identical to it.
Glenn Randers-Pehrson860ab2b1999-10-14 07:43:10 -0500105Look for "9782 zero samples" in the output of the test. For more
106confidence, you can run another test by typing "pngtest pngnow.png"
Glenn Randers-Pehrson6d8f3b01999-10-23 08:39:18 -0500107and looking for "289 zero samples" in the output. Also, you can
108run "pngtest -m *.png" in the "contrib/pngsuite" directory and compare
109your output with the result shown in contrib/pngsuite/README.
Glenn Randers-Pehrson08a33431998-03-07 06:06:55 -0600110
111Most of the makefiles will allow you to run "make install" to
112put the library in its final resting place (if you want to
113do that, run "make install" in the zlib directory first if necessary).

115Further information can be found in the README and libpng.txt
Glenn Randers-Pehrson6d8f3b01999-10-23 08:39:18 -0500116files, in the individual makefiles, in png.h, and the manual pages
117libpng.3 and png.5.
