2 | Installing libpng version 1.2.5 - October 3, 2002 |
---|
3 | |
---|
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. |
---|
11 | |
---|
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". |
---|
15 | |
---|
16 | Your directory structure should look like this: |
---|
17 | |
---|
18 | .. (the parent directory) |
---|
19 | libpng (this directory) |
---|
20 | INSTALL (this file) |
---|
21 | README |
---|

---|
47 | |
---|
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. |
---|
51 | |
---|
52 | If you are building libpng with MSVC, you can enter the libpng\msvc directory |
---|
53 | and follow the instructions in msvc\README.txt. |
---|
54 | |
---|
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. |
---|
59 | |
---|
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 |
---|
62 | directory. |
---|
63 | |
---|

122 | Copy the file (or files) that you need from the |
---|
123 | scripts directory into this directory, for example |
---|
124 | |
---|
125 | MSDOS example: copy scripts\makefile.msc makefile |
---|
126 | UNIX example: cp scripts/makefile.std makefile |
---|
127 | |
---|
128 | Read the makefile to see if you need to change any source or |
---|
129 | target directories to match your preferences. |
---|
130 | |
---|
131 | Then read pngconf.h to see if you want to make any configuration |
---|
132 | changes. |
---|
133 | |
---|
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. |
---|
142 | |
---|
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 |
---|
147 | run "make install". |
---|
148 | |
---|
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. |
