2Installing libpng version 1.2.5 - October 3, 2002
3
4Before installing libpng, you must first install zlib.  zlib
5can usually be found wherever you got libpng.  zlib can be
6placed in another directory, at the same level as libpng.
7Note that your system might already have a preinstalled
8zlib, but you will still need to have access to the
9zlib.h and zconf.h include files that correspond to the
10version of zlib that's installed.
11
12You can rename the directories that you downloaded (they
13might be called "libpng-1.2.5" or "lpng109" and "zlib-1.1.4"
14or "zlib114") so that you have directories called "zlib" and "libpng".
15
16Your directory structure should look like this:
17
18   ..       (the parent directory)
19      libpng  (this directory)
20          INSTALL (this file)
21          README
22          *.h
23          *.c
24          contrib
25             gregbook
26             msvctest
27             pngminus
28             pngsuite
29             visupng
30          projects
31             beos
32             borland
33             msvc
34             netware.txt
35             wince.txt
36          scripts
37             makefile.*
38             libpng*.in
39          pngtest.png
40          etc.
41      zlib
42          README
43          *.h
44          *.c
45          contrib
46          etc.
47
48If the line endings in the files look funny, you may wish to get the other
49distribution of libpng.  It is available in both tar.gz (UNIX style line
50endings) and zip (DOS style line endings) formats.
51
52If you are building libpng with MSVC, you can enter the libpng\msvc directory
53and follow the instructions in msvc\README.txt.
54
55You can build libpng for WindowsCE by entering the downloading and installing
56the libpng\wince directory as instructed in the projects\wince.txt file, and
57then following the instructions in the README* files.  Similarly, you can
58build libpng for Netware as instructed in projects\netware.txt.
59
60Else enter the zlib directory and follow the instructions in zlib/README,
61then come back here and choose the appropriate makefile.sys in the scripts
62directory.

121
122Copy the file (or files) that you need from the
123scripts directory into this directory, for example
124
125   MSDOS example: copy scripts\makefile.msc makefile
126   UNIX example:    cp scripts/makefile.std makefile
127
128Read the makefile to see if you need to change any source or
129target directories to match your preferences.
130
131Then read pngconf.h to see if you want to make any configuration
132changes.
133
134Then just run "make test" which will create the libpng library in
135this directory and run a quick test that reads the "pngtest.png"
136file and writes a "pngout.png" file that should be identical to it.
137Look for "9782 zero samples" in the output of the test.  For more
138confidence, you can run another test by typing "pngtest pngnow.png"
139and looking for "289 zero samples" in the output.  Also, you can
140run "pngtest -m *.png" in the "contrib/pngsuite" directory and compare
141your output with the result shown in contrib/pngsuite/README.
142
143Most of the makefiles will allow you to run "make install" to
144put the library in its final resting place (if you want to
145do that, run "make install" in the zlib directory first if necessary).
146Some also allow you to run "make test-installed" after you have
147run "make install".
148
149Further information can be found in the README and libpng.txt
150files, in the individual makefiles, in png.h, in the README files in
151subdirectories of the LIB directory, and the manual pages libpng.3 and png.5.
