Glenn Randers-Pehrsonfbbb5ec2001-01-15 22:01:20 -06002Installing libpng version 1.0.9beta10 - January 16, 2001
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-Pehrsonfbbb5ec2001-01-15 22:01:20 -060013might be called "libpng-1.0.9beta10" or "lpng109" 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:

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 -060045If the line endings in the files look funny, you may wish to get the other
46distribution of libpng. It is available in both tar.gz (UNIX style line
47endings) and zip (DOS style line endings) formats.
48
Glenn Randers-Pehrsondb66d442000-06-23 21:38:16 -050049If you are building libpng with MSVC, you can enter the libpng\msvc directory
Glenn Randers-Pehrson15dac0b2000-07-10 07:48:54 -050050and follow the instructions in msvc\README.txt. You can build libpng for
51WindowsCE by entering the libpng\wince directory and following the
52instructions in the README* files.

Glenn Randers-Pehrsondb66d442000-06-23 21:38:16 -050054Else enter the zlib directory and follow the instructions in zlib/README,
55then come back here and choose the appropriate makefile.sys in the scripts
Glenn Randers-Pehrsonfbbb5ec2001-01-15 22:01:20 -060056directory.

107Copy the file (or files) that you need from the
108scripts directory into this directory, for example
109
Glenn Randers-Pehrson860ab2b1999-10-14 07:43:10 -0500110 MSDOS example: copy scripts\makefile.msc makefile
Glenn Randers-Pehrson08a33431998-03-07 06:06:55 -0600111 UNIX example: cp scripts/makefile.std makefile
112
113Read the makefile to see if you need to change any source or
114target directories to match your preferences.
115
116Then read pngconf.h to see if you want to make any configuration
117changes.
118
119Then just run "make test" which will create the libpng library in
120this directory and run a quick test that reads the "pngtest.png"
121file and writes a "pngout.png" file that should be identical to it.
Glenn Randers-Pehrson860ab2b1999-10-14 07:43:10 -0500122Look for "9782 zero samples" in the output of the test. For more
123confidence, you can run another test by typing "pngtest pngnow.png"
Glenn Randers-Pehrson6d8f3b01999-10-23 08:39:18 -0500124and looking for "289 zero samples" in the output. Also, you can
125run "pngtest -m *.png" in the "contrib/pngsuite" directory and compare
126your output with the result shown in contrib/pngsuite/README.
Glenn Randers-Pehrson08a33431998-03-07 06:06:55 -0600127
128Most of the makefiles will allow you to run "make install" to
129put the library in its final resting place (if you want to
130do that, run "make install" in the zlib directory first if necessary).

Glenn Randers-Pehrson5e5c1e12000-11-10 12:26:19 -0600133files, in the individual makefiles, in png.h, in the README files in
Glenn Randers-Pehrsonfbbb5ec2001-01-15 22:01:20 -0600134subdirectories of the LIB directory, and the manual pages libpng.3 and png.5.
