Installing libpng version 1.0.9beta1 - November 10, 2000
1998-03-07 12:06:55 +00:00
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
1998-12-29 17:47:59 +00:00
zlib, but you will still need to have access to the
1998-03-07 12:06:55 +00:00
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
2000-11-10 18:26:19 +00:00
might be called "libpng-1.0.9beta1" or "lpng109" and "zlib-1.1.3"
1998-12-29 17:47:59 +00:00
or "zlib113") so that you have directories called "zlib" and "libpng".
1998-03-07 12:06:55 +00:00
Your directory structure should look like this:
.. (the parent directory)
libpng (this directory)
INSTALL (this file)
README

*.c

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.
2000-06-24 02:38:16 +00:00
If you are building libpng with MSVC, you can enter the libpng\msvc directory
2000-07-10 12:48:54 +00:00
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.
2000-06-04 19:29:29 +00:00
2000-06-24 02:38:16 +00:00
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
2000-03-21 11:13:06 +00:00
directory.

Copy the file (or files) that you need from the
scripts directory into this directory, for example
1999-10-14 12:43:10 +00:00
MSDOS example: copy scripts\makefile.msc makefile
1998-03-07 12:06:55 +00:00
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.
1999-10-14 12:43:10 +00:00
Look for "9782 zero samples" in the output of the test. For more
confidence, you can run another test by typing "pngtest pngnow.png"
1999-10-23 13:39:18 +00:00
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.
1998-03-07 12:06:55 +00:00
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
2000-11-10 18:26:19 +00:00
files, in the individual makefiles, in png.h, in the README files in
subdirectories of the dll directory, and the manual pages libpng.3 and png.5.
