					VIII. Configuring libpng for 16-bit platforms
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					You will want to look into zconf.h to tell zlib (and thus libpng) that
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					it cannot allocate more then 64K at a time.  Even if you can, the memory
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					won't be accessible.  So limit zlib and libpng to 64K by defining MAXSEG_64K.
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					IX. Configuring for DOS
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					For DOS users who only have access to the lower 640K, you will
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					have to limit zlib's memory usage via a png_set_compression_mem_level()
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					call.  See zlib.h or zconf.h in the zlib library for more information.
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					X. Configuring for Medium Model
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					Libpng's support for medium model has been tested on most of the popular
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					compilers.  Make sure MAXSEG_64K gets defined, USE_FAR_KEYWORD gets
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					defined, and FAR gets defined to far in pngconf.h, and you should be
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					all set.  Everything in the library (except for zlib's structure) is
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					expecting far data.  You must use the typedefs with the p or pp on
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					the end for pointers (or at least look at them and be careful).  Make
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					note that the rows of data are defined as png_bytepp, which is
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					an "unsigned char far * far *".
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					XI. Prepending a prefix to exported symbols
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					Starting with libpng-1.6.0, you can configure libpng (when using the
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					"configure" script) to prefix all exported symbols by means of the
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					configuration option "--with-libpng-prefix=FOO_", where FOO_ can be any
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					string beginning with a letter and containing only uppercase
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					and lowercase letters, digits, and the underscore (i.e., a C language
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					identifier).  This creates a set of macros in pnglibconf.h, so this is
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					transparent to applications; their function calls get transformed by
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					the macros to use the modified names.
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					XII. Configuring for compiler xxx:
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					All includes for libpng are in pngconf.h.  If you need to add, change
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					or delete an include, this is the place to do it.
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					The includes that are not needed outside libpng are placed in pngpriv.h,
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					which is only used by the routines inside libpng itself.
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					The files in libpng proper only include pngpriv.h and png.h, which
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					in turn includes pngconf.h and, as of libpng-1.5.0, pnglibconf.h.
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					As of libpng-1.5.0, pngpriv.h also includes three other private header
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					files, pngstruct.h, pnginfo.h, and pngdebug.h, which contain material
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					that previously appeared in the public headers.
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					XIII. Removing unwanted object code
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					There are a bunch of #define's in pngconf.h that control what parts of
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					libpng are compiled.  All the defines end in _SUPPORTED.  If you are
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					never going to use a capability, you can change the #define to #undef
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					before recompiling libpng and save yourself code and data space, or
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					you can turn off individual capabilities with defines that begin with
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					PNG_NO_.
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					In libpng-1.5.0 and later, the #define's are in pnglibconf.h instead.
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					You can also turn all of the transforms and ancillary chunk capabilities
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					off en masse with compiler directives that define
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					PNG_NO_READ[or WRITE]_TRANSFORMS, or PNG_NO_READ[or WRITE]_ANCILLARY_CHUNKS,
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					or all four, along with directives to turn on any of the capabilities that
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					you do want.  The PNG_NO_READ[or WRITE]_TRANSFORMS directives disable the
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					extra transformations but still leave the library fully capable of reading
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					and writing PNG files with all known public chunks. Use of the
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					PNG_NO_READ[or WRITE]_ANCILLARY_CHUNKS directive produces a library
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					that is incapable of reading or writing ancillary chunks.  If you are
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					not using the progressive reading capability, you can turn that off
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					with PNG_NO_PROGRESSIVE_READ (don't confuse this with the INTERLACING
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					capability, which you'll still have).
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					All the reading and writing specific code are in separate files, so the
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					linker should only grab the files it needs.  However, if you want to
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					make sure, or if you are building a stand alone library, all the
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					reading files start with "pngr" and all the writing files start with "pngw".
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					The files that don't match either (like png.c, pngtrans.c, etc.)
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					are used for both reading and writing, and always need to be included.
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					The progressive reader is in pngpread.c
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					If you are creating or distributing a dynamically linked library (a .so
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					or DLL file), you should not remove or disable any parts of the library,
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					as this will cause applications linked with different versions of the
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					library to fail if they call functions not available in your library.
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					The size of the library itself should not be an issue, because only
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					those sections that are actually used will be loaded into memory.
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					XIV. Changes to the build and configuration of libpng in libpng-1.5.x
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					Details of internal changes to the library code can be found in the CHANGES
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					file and in the GIT repository logs.  These will be of no concern to the vast
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					majority of library users or builders; however, the few who configure libpng
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					to a non-default feature set may need to change how this is done.
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					There should be no need for library builders to alter build scripts if
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					these use the distributed build support - configure or the makefiles -
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					however, users of the makefiles may care to update their build scripts
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					to build pnglibconf.h where the corresponding makefile does not do so.
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					Building libpng with a non-default configuration has changed completely.
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					The old method using pngusr.h should still work correctly even though the
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					way pngusr.h is used in the build has been changed; however, library
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					builders will probably want to examine the changes to take advantage of
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					new capabilities and to simplify their build system.
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					A. Specific changes to library configuration capabilities
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					The exact mechanism used to control attributes of API functions has
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					changed.  A single set of operating system independent macro definitions
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					is used and operating system specific directives are defined in
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					pnglibconf.h
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					As part of this the mechanism used to choose procedure call standards on
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					those systems that allow a choice has been changed.  At present this only
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					affects certain Microsoft (DOS, Windows) and IBM (OS/2) operating systems
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					running on Intel processors.  As before, PNGAPI is defined where required
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					to control the exported API functions; however, two new macros, PNGCBAPI
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					and PNGCAPI, are used instead for callback functions (PNGCBAPI) and
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					(PNGCAPI) for functions that must match a C library prototype (currently
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					only png_longjmp_ptr, which must match the C longjmp function.)  The new
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					approach is documented in pngconf.h
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					Despite these changes, libpng 1.5.0 only supports the native C function
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					calling standard on those platforms tested so far (__cdecl on Microsoft
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					Windows).  This is because the support requirements for alternative
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					calling conventions seem to no longer exist.  Developers who find it
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					necessary to set PNG_API_RULE to 1 should advise the mailing list
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					(png-mng-implement) of this and library builders who use Openwatcom and
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					therefore set PNG_API_RULE to 2 should also contact the mailing list.
 |

					B. Changes to the configuration mechanism
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					Prior to libpng-1.5.0 library builders who needed to configure libpng
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					had either to modify the exported pngconf.h header file to add system
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					specific configuration or had to write feature selection macros into
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					pngusr.h and cause this to be included into pngconf.h by defining
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					PNG_USER_CONFIG. The latter mechanism had the disadvantage that an
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					application built without PNG_USER_CONFIG defined would see the
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					unmodified, default, libpng API and thus would probably fail to link.
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					These mechanisms still work in the configure build and in any makefile
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					build that builds pnglibconf.h, although the feature selection macros
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					have changed somewhat as described above.  In 1.5.0, however, pngusr.h is
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					processed only once, when the exported header file pnglibconf.h is built.
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					pngconf.h no longer includes pngusr.h, therefore pngusr.h is ignored after the
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					build of pnglibconf.h and it is never included in an application build.
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					The rarely used alternative of adding a list of feature macros to the
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					CPPFLAGS setting in the build also still works; however, the macros will be
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					copied to pnglibconf.h and this may produce macro redefinition warnings
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					when the individual C files are compiled.
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					All configuration now only works if pnglibconf.h is built from
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					scripts/pnglibconf.dfa.  This requires the program awk.  Brian Kernighan
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					(the original author of awk) maintains C source code of that awk and this
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					and all known later implementations (often called by subtly different
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					names - nawk and gawk for example) are adequate to build pnglibconf.h.
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					The Sun Microsystems (now Oracle) program 'awk' is an earlier version
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					and does not work; this may also apply to other systems that have a
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					functioning awk called 'nawk'.
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					Configuration options are now documented in scripts/pnglibconf.dfa.  This
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					file also includes dependency information that ensures a configuration is
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					consistent; that is, if a feature is switched off dependent features are
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					also removed.  As a recommended alternative to using feature macros in
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					pngusr.h a system builder may also define equivalent options in pngusr.dfa
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					(or, indeed, any file) and add that to the configuration by setting
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					DFA_XTRA to the file name.  The makefiles in contrib/pngminim illustrate
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					how to do this, and a case where pngusr.h is still required.
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					XV. Configuring libpng for multiprocessing
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					Libpng uses setjmp()/longjmp() for error handling.  Unfortunately setjmp()
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					is known to be not thread-safe on some platforms and we don't know of
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					any platform where it is guaranteed to be thread-safe.  Therefore, if
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					your application is going to be using multiple threads, you should
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					configure libpng with PNG_NO_SETJMP in your pngusr.dfa file, with
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					-DPNG_NO_SETJMP on your compile line, or with
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					  #undef PNG_SETJMP_SUPPORTED
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					
 | 
				
			||||||
 | 
					in your pnglibconf.h or pngusr.h.
 |
