   8 Assumes that zlib sources have been copied to ..\..\..\zlib

  10 To build:
  11
  12 0) On the main menu, select "File | Open Workspace" and then
  13    select "libpng.dsw".
  14
  15 1) On the main menu Select "Build | Set Active configuration".
  16    Among the configurations beginning with "libpng" select the
  17    one you wish to build (the corresponding "zlib" configuration
  18    will be built automatically).
  19
  20 2) Select "Build | Clean"
  21
  22 3) Select "Build | Rebuild All".  Ignore warning messages about
  23    not being able to find certain include files (e.g., m68881.h,
  24    alloc.h).
  25
  26 4) Look in the appropriate "win32" subdirectories for both "zlib"
  27    and "libpng" binaries.
  28
  29 This project will build the PNG Development Group's "official" versions of
  30 libpng and zlib libraries:
  31
  32    libpng13.dll          (default version, currently C code only)
  33    libpng13a.dll         (C + Assembler version)
  34    libpng13b.dll         (C + Assembler debug version)
  35    libpng13d.dll         (C code debug version)
  36    libpng13vb.dll       (version for VB, uses "stdcall" protocol)
  37    libpng13[c,e-m].dll   (reserved for official versions)
  38    libpng13[n-z].dll     (available for private versions)
  39    zlib.dll             (default version, currently C code only)
  40    zlibd.dll            (debug version)
  41    zlibvb.dll           (version for Visual Basic, uses "stdcall" protocol)
  42
  43 If you change anything in libpng, or select different compiler settings,
  44 please change the library name to an unreserved name, and define
  45 DLLFNAME_POSTFIX and (PRIVATEBUILD or SPECIALBUILD) accordingly. DLLFNAME_POSTFIX
  46 should correspond to a string in the range of "N" to "Z" depending on the letter
  47 you choose for your private version.
  48
  49 All DLLs built by this project use the Microsoft dynamic C runtime library
  50 MSVCRT.DLL (MSVCRTD.DLL for debug versions). If you distribute any of the
  51 above mentioned libraries you should also include this DLL in your package.
  52 For a list of files that are redistributable in Visual C++ 6.0, see
  53 Common\Redist\Redist.txt on Disc 1 of the Visual C++ 6.0 product CDs.
  54
  55 5) For an example workspace that builds an application using the resulting
  56    DLLs, go to Libpng's contrib\msvctest directory and use it to build
  57    and run "pngtest".
