-Installing libpng version 1.2.6 - August 15, 2004
+Installing libpng version 1.2.34 - December 18, 2008
-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
-zlib, but 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.
+On Unix/Linux and similar systems, you can simply type
+
+ ./configure [--prefix=/path]
+ make check
+ make install
+
+and ignore the rest of this document.
+
+If configure does not work on your system and you have a reasonably
+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.
+
+Instead, you can use one of the custom-built makefiles in the
+"scripts" directory
+
+ cp scripts/makefile.system makefile
+ 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
+
+ cmake . [-DPNG_MMX=YES] -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/path
+ make
+ make install

You can rename the directories that you downloaded (they
-might be called "libpng-1.2.6" or "lpng109" and "zlib-1.1.3"
-or "zlib113") so that you have directories called "zlib" and "libpng".
+might be called "libpng-1.2.34" or "lpng109" and "zlib-1.2.1"
+or "zlib121") so that you have directories called "zlib" and "libpng".
Your directory structure should look like this:
*.c
contrib

- msvctest

endings) and zip (DOS style line endings) formats.
-If you are building libpng with MSVC, you can enter the libpng\msvc directory
-and follow the instructions in msvc\README.txt.

changes.

+Using the ./configure script -- 16 December 2002.
+=================================================
+
+
+The ./configure script should work compatibly with what scripts/makefile.*
+did, however there are some options you need to add to configure explicitly,
+which previously was done semi-automatically (if you didn't edit
+scripts/makefile.* yourself, that is)
+
+
+CFLAGS="-Wall -O -funroll-loops \
+-malign-loops=2 -malign-functions=2" ./configure --prefix=/usr/include \
+--with-pkgconfigdir=/usr/lib/pkgconfig --includedir=/usr/include
+
+You can alternatively specify --includedir=/usr/include, /usr/local/include,
+/usr/include/png12, or whatever.
