| 2 | Installing libpng version 1.2.29 - May 8, 2008
|
|---|
| 3 |
|
|---|
| 4 | On Unix/Linux and similar systems, you can simply type
|
|---|
| 5 |
|
|---|
| 6 | ./configure [--prefix=/path]
|
|---|
| 7 | make check
|
|---|
| 8 | make install
|
|---|
| 9 |
|
|---|
| 10 | and ignore the rest of this document.
|
|---|
| 11 |
|
|---|
| 12 | If configure does not work on your system and you have a reasonably
|
|---|
| 13 | up-to-date set of tools, running ./autogen.sh before running ./configure
|
|---|
| 14 | may fix the problem. You can also run the individual commands in
|
|---|
| 15 | autogen.sh with the --force option, if supported by your version of
|
|---|
| 16 | the tools. If you run 'libtoolize --force', though, this will replace
|
|---|
| 17 | the distributed, patched, version of ltmain.sh with an unpatched version
|
|---|
| 18 | and your shared library builds may fail to produce libraries with the
|
|---|
| 19 | correct version numbers.
|
|---|
| 20 |
|
|---|
| 21 | Instead, you can use one of the custom-built makefiles in the
|
|---|
| 22 | "scripts" directory
|
|---|
| 23 |
|
|---|
| 24 | cp scripts/makefile.system makefile
|
|---|
| 25 | make test
|
|---|
| 26 | make install
|
|---|
| 27 |
|
|---|
| 28 | Or you can use one of the "projects" in the "projects" directory.
|
|---|
| 29 |
|
|---|
| 30 | If you want to use "cmake" (see www.cmake.org), copy CMakeLists.txt
|
|---|
| 31 | from the "scripts" directory to this directory and type
|
|---|
| 32 |
|
|---|
| 33 | cmake . [-DPNG_MMX=YES] -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/path
|
|---|
| 34 | make
|
|---|
| 35 | make install
|
|---|
| 36 |
|
|---|
| 37 | Before installing libpng, you must first install zlib, if it
|
|---|
| 38 | is not already on your system. zlib can usually be found
|
|---|
| 39 | wherever you got libpng. zlib can be placed in another directory,
|
|---|
| 40 | at the same level as libpng.
|
|---|
| 41 |
|
|---|
| 42 | If your system already has a preinstalled zlib you will still need
|
|---|
| 43 | to have access to the zlib.h and zconf.h include files that
|
|---|
| 44 | correspond to the version of zlib that's installed.
|
|---|
| 45 |
|
|---|
| 46 | You can rename the directories that you downloaded (they
|
|---|
| 47 | might be called "libpng-1.2.29" or "lpng109" and "zlib-1.2.1"
|
|---|
| 48 | or "zlib121") so that you have directories called "zlib" and "libpng".
|
|---|
| 49 |
|
|---|
| 50 | Your directory structure should look like this:
|
|---|
| 51 |
|
|---|
| 52 | .. (the parent directory)
|
|---|
| 53 | libpng (this directory)
|
|---|
| 54 | INSTALL (this file)
|
|---|
| 55 | README
|
|---|
| 56 | *.h
|
|---|
| 57 | *.c
|
|---|
| 58 | contrib
|
|---|
| 59 | gregbook
|
|---|

|
|---|
| 66 | visualc6 (msvc)
|

|
|---|
| 68 | wince.txt
|
|---|
| 69 | scripts
|
|---|

|

|

| 76 | *.c
|
|---|

|

| 78 | etc.
|
|---|
| 79 |
|
|---|
| 80 | If the line endings in the files look funny, you may wish to get the other
|
|---|
| 81 | distribution of libpng. It is available in both tar.gz (UNIX style line
|
|---|
| 82 | endings) and zip (DOS style line endings) formats.
|
|---|
| 83 |
|
|---|
| 84 | If you are building libpng with MSVC, you can enter the
|
|---|
| 85 | libpng projects\visualc6 directory and follow the instructions in
|
|---|
| 86 | projects\visualc6\README.txt.
|
|---|
| 87 |
|
|---|
| 88 | You can build libpng for WindowsCE by downloading and installing
|
|---|
| 89 | the projects\wince directory as instructed in the projects\wince.txt file, and
|
|---|
| 90 | then following the instructions in the README* files. Similarly, you can
|
|---|
| 91 | build libpng for Netware or Beos as instructed in projects\netware.txt
|
|---|
| 92 | or projects\beos.
|
|---|
| 93 |
|
|---|
| 94 | Else enter the zlib directory and follow the instructions in zlib/README,
|
|---|
| 95 | then come back here and run "configure" or choose the appropriate
|
|---|
| 96 | makefile.sys in the scripts directory.
|
|---|
| 97 |

|---|

|
|---|
| 158 |
|
|---|
| 159 | Copy the file (or files) that you need from the
|
|---|
| 160 | scripts directory into this directory, for example
|
|---|
| 161 |
|
|---|
| 162 | MSDOS example: copy scripts\makefile.msc makefile
|
|---|
| 163 | UNIX example: cp scripts/makefile.std makefile
|
|---|
| 164 |
|
|---|
| 165 | Read the makefile to see if you need to change any source or
|
|---|
| 166 | target directories to match your preferences.
|
|---|
| 167 |
|
|---|
| 168 | Then read pngconf.h to see if you want to make any configuration
|
|---|
| 169 | changes.
|
|---|
| 170 |
|
|---|
| 171 | Then just run "make" which will create the libpng library in
|
|---|
| 172 | this directory and "make test" which will run a quick test that reads
|
|---|
| 173 | the "pngtest.png" file and writes a "pngout.png" file that should be
|
|---|
| 174 | identical to it. Look for "9782 zero samples" in the output of the
|
|---|
| 175 | test. For more confidence, you can run another test by typing
|
|---|
| 176 | "pngtest pngnow.png" and looking for "289 zero samples" in the output.
|
|---|
| 177 | Also, you can run "pngtest -m contrib/pngsuite/*.png" and compare
|
|---|
| 178 | your output with the result shown in contrib/pngsuite/README.
|
|---|
| 179 |
|
|---|
| 180 | Most of the makefiles will allow you to run "make install" to
|
|---|
| 181 | put the library in its final resting place (if you want to
|
|---|
| 182 | do that, run "make install" in the zlib directory first if necessary).
|
|---|
| 183 | Some also allow you to run "make test-installed" after you have
|
|---|
| 184 | run "make install".
|
|---|
| 185 |
|
|---|
| 186 | If you encounter a compiler error message complaining about the
|
|---|
| 187 | lines
|
|---|
| 188 | __png.h__ already includes setjmp.h;
|
|---|
| 189 | __dont__ include it again.;
|
|---|
| 190 | This means you have compiled another module that includes setjmp.h,
|
|---|
| 191 | which is hazardous because the two modules might not include exactly
|
|---|
| 192 | the same setjmp.h. If you are sure that you know what you are doing
|
|---|
| 193 | and that they are exactly the same, then you can comment out or
|
|---|
| 194 | delete the two lines. Better yet, use the cexcept interface
|
|---|
| 195 | instead, as demonstrated in contrib/visupng of the libpng distribution.
|
|---|
| 196 |
|
|---|
| 197 | Further information can be found in the README and libpng.txt
|
|---|
| 198 | files, in the individual makefiles, in png.h, and the manual pages
|
|---|
| 199 | libpng.3 and png.5.
