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
|
---|
60 | pngminus
|
---|
61 | pngsuite
|
---|
62 | visupng
|
---|
63 | projects
|
---|
64 | beos
|
---|
65 | c5builder (Borland)
|
---|
66 | visualc6 (msvc)
|
---|
67 | netware.txt
|
---|
68 | wince.txt
|
---|
69 | scripts
|
---|
70 | makefile.*
|
---|
71 | pngtest.png
|
---|
72 | etc.
|
---|
73 | zlib
|
---|
74 | README
|
---|
75 | *.h
|
---|
76 | *.c
|
---|
77 | contrib
|
---|
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.
