Installing libpng version 1.2.5 - October 3, 2002
4
Before installing libpng, you must first install zlib. zlib
5
can usually be found wherever you got libpng. zlib can be
6
placed in another directory, at the same level as libpng.
7
Note that your system might already have a preinstalled
8
zlib, but you will still need to have access to the
9
zlib.h and zconf.h include files that correspond to the
10
version of zlib that's installed.
12
You can rename the directories that you downloaded (they
13
might be called "libpng-1.2.5" or "lpng109" and "zlib-1.1.4"
14
or "zlib114") so that you have directories called "zlib" and "libpng".
16
Your directory structure should look like this:
18
.. (the parent directory)
19
libpng (this directory)
48
If the line endings in the files look funny, you may wish to get the other
49
distribution of libpng. It is available in both tar.gz (UNIX style line
50
endings) and zip (DOS style line endings) formats.
52
If you are building libpng with MSVC, you can enter the libpng\msvc directory
53
and follow the instructions in msvc\README.txt.
55
You can build libpng for WindowsCE by entering the downloading and installing
56
the libpng\wince directory as instructed in the projects\wince.txt file, and
57
then following the instructions in the README* files. Similarly, you can
58
build libpng for Netware as instructed in projects\netware.txt.
60
Else enter the zlib directory and follow the instructions in zlib/README,
61
then come back here and choose the appropriate makefile.sys in the scripts
64

122
Copy the file (or files) that you need from the
123
scripts directory into this directory, for example
125
MSDOS example: copy scripts\makefile.msc makefile
126
UNIX example: cp scripts/makefile.std makefile
128
Read the makefile to see if you need to change any source or
129
target directories to match your preferences.
131
Then read pngconf.h to see if you want to make any configuration
134
Then just run "make test" which will create the libpng library in
135
this directory and run a quick test that reads the "pngtest.png"
136
file and writes a "pngout.png" file that should be identical to it.
137
Look for "9782 zero samples" in the output of the test. For more
138
confidence, you can run another test by typing "pngtest pngnow.png"
139
and looking for "289 zero samples" in the output. Also, you can
140
run "pngtest -m *.png" in the "contrib/pngsuite" directory and compare
141
your output with the result shown in contrib/pngsuite/README.
143
Most of the makefiles will allow you to run "make install" to
144
put the library in its final resting place (if you want to
145
do that, run "make install" in the zlib directory first if necessary).
146
Some also allow you to run "make test-installed" after you have
149
Further information can be found in the README and libpng.txt
150
files, in the individual makefiles, in png.h, in the README files in
151
subdirectories of the LIB directory, and the manual pages libpng.3 and png.5.
