-Installing libpng version 1.2.20 - September 8, 2007
+Installing libpng
On Unix/Linux and similar systems, you can simply type
up-to-date set of tools, running ./autogen.sh before running ./configure
may fix the problem. You can also run the individual commands in
autogen.sh with the --force option, if supported by your version of
-the tools. If you run 'libtoolize --force', though, this will replace
-the distributed, patched, version of ltmain.sh with an unpatched version
-and your shared library builds may fail to produce libraries with the
-correct version numbers.
+the tools. To be really sure that you aren't using any of the included
+pre-built scripts, you can do this:
+
+ ./configure --enable-maintainer-mode
+ make maintainer-clean
+ ./autogen.sh
+ ./configure [--prefix=/path] [other options]
+ make
+ make install
+ make check
Instead, you can use one of the custom-built makefiles in the
"scripts" directory
make test
make install
-Or you can use one of the "projects" in the "projects" directory.
-
-If you want to use "cmake" (see www.cmake.org), copy CMakeLists.txt
-from the "scripts" directory to this directory and type
+The files that are presently available in the scripts directory
+are listed and described in scripts/README.txt.
- cmake . [-DPNG_MMX=YES] -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/path
- make
- make install
+Or you can use one of the "projects" in the "projects" directory.
Before installing libpng, you must first install zlib, if it
is not already on your system. zlib can usually be found
wherever you got libpng. zlib can be placed in another directory,
at the same level as libpng.
+If you want to use "cmake" (see www.cmake.org), type
+
+ cmake . -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/path
+ make
+ make install
+
If your system already has a preinstalled zlib you will still need
to have access to the 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
-might be called "libpng-1.2.20" or "lpng109" and "zlib-1.2.1"
-or "zlib121") so that you have directories called "zlib" and "libpng".
+might be called "libpng-x.y.z" or "libpngNN" and "zlib-1.2.5"
+or "zlib125") so that you have directories called "zlib" and "libpng".
Your directory structure should look like this:
README
*.h
*.c
+ CMakeLists.txt => "cmake" script
+ configuration files:
+ configure.ac, configure, Makefile.am, Makefile.in,
+ autogen.sh, config.guess, ltmain.sh, missing, libpng.pc.in,
+ libpng-config.in, aclocal.m4, config.h.in, config.sub,
+ depcomp, install-sh, mkinstalldirs, test-pngtest.sh

Copy the file (or files) that you need from the
scripts directory into this directory, for example
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
+Then read pnglibconf.dfa to see if you want to make any configuration
changes.
Then just run "make" which will create the libpng library in
Some also allow you to run "make test-installed" after you have
run "make install".
-If you encounter a compiler error message complaining about the
-lines
- __png.h__ already includes setjmp.h;
- __dont__ include it again.;
-This means you have compiled another module that includes setjmp.h,
-which is hazardous because the two modules might not include exactly
-the same setjmp.h. If you are sure that you know what you are doing
-and that they are exactly the same, then you can comment out or
-delete the two lines. Better yet, use the cexcept interface
-instead, as demonstrated in contrib/visupng of the libpng distribution.
