Installing libpng
|
|
|
|
On Unix/Linux and similar systems, you can simply type
|
|
|
|
./configure [--prefix=/path]
|
|
make check
|
|
make install
|
|
|
|
and ignore the rest of this document.
|
|
|
|
If configure does not work on your system, or if you have a need to
|
|
change configure.ac or Makefile.am, and you have a reasonably
|
|
up-to-date set of tools, running ./autogen.sh in a git clone before
|
|
running ./configure may fix the problem. To be really sure that you
|
|
aren't using any of the included pre-built scripts, you can do this:
|
|
|
|
./configure --enable-maintainer-mode
|
|
make maintainer-clean
|
|
./autogen.sh --maintainer --clean
|
|
./autogen.sh --maintainer
|
|
./configure [--prefix=/path] [other options]
|
|
make
|
|
make install
|
|
make check
|
|
|
|
Instead, you can use one of the custom-built makefiles in the
|
|
"scripts" directory
|
|
|
|
cp scripts/makefile.system makefile
|
|
make test
|
|
make install
|
|
|
|
The files that are presently available in the scripts directory
|
|
are listed and described in scripts/README.txt.
|
|
|
|
Or you can use one of the "projects" in the "projects" directory.
|
|
|
|
Before installing libpng, you must first install zlib, if it
|
|
is not already on your system. zlib can usually be found
|
|
wherever you got libpng. zlib can be placed in another directory,
|
|
at the same level as libpng.
|
|
|
|
If your system already has a preinstalled zlib you will still need
|
|
to have access to the zlib.h and zconf.h include files that
|
|
correspond to the version of zlib that's installed.
|
|
|
|
If you wish to test with a particular zlib that is not first in the
|
|
standard library search path, put ZLIBLIB, ZLIBINC, CPPFLAGS, LDFLAGS,
|
|
and LD_LIBRARY_PATH in your environment before running "make test"
|
|
or "make distcheck":
|
|
|
|
ZLIBLIB=/path/to/lib export ZLIBLIB
|
|
ZLIBINC=/path/to/include export ZLIBINC
|
|
CPPFLAGS="-I$ZLIBINC" export CPPFLAGS
|
|
LDFLAGS="-L$ZLIBLIB" export LDFLAGS
|
|
LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$ZLIBLIB:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH" export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
|
|
|
|
If you are using one of the makefile scripts, put ZLIBLIB and ZLIBINC
|
|
in your environment and type "make ZLIBLIB=$ZLIBLIB ZLIBINC=$ZLIBINC test".
|
|
|
|
If you want to use "cmake" (see www.cmake.org), type
|
|
|
|
cmake . -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/path
|
|
make
|
|
make install
|
|
|
|
You can rename the directories that you downloaded (they
|
|
might be called "libpng-x.y.z" or "libpngNN" and "zlib-1.2.7"
|
|
or "zlib127") so that you have directories called "zlib" and "libpng".
|
|
|
|
Your directory structure should look like this:
|
|
|
|
.. (the parent directory)
|
|
libpng (this directory)
|
|
INSTALL (this file)
|
|
README
|
|
*.h
|
|
*.c
|
|
CMakeLists.txt => "cmake" script
|
|
configuration files:
|
|
configure.ac, configure, Makefile.am, Makefile.in,
|
|
autogen.sh, config.guess, ltmain.sh, missing, libpng.pc.in,
|
|
libpng-config.in, aclocal.m4, config.h.in, config.sub,
|
|
depcomp, install-sh, mkinstalldirs, test-pngtest.sh

|

|
|

|
|

|
|
etc.
|
|

|
|
etc.
|
|
zlib
|
|

|
|
*.h
|
|
*.c
|
|
contrib
|
|
etc.
|
|
|
|
If the line endings in the files look funny, you may wish to get the other
|
|
distribution of libpng. It is available in both tar.gz (UNIX style line
|
|
endings) and zip (DOS style line endings) formats.
|
|
|
|
If you are building libpng with MSVC, you can enter the
|
|
libpng projects\visualc6 or visualc71 directory and follow the instructions
|
|
in README.txt.
|
|
|
|
Otherwise enter the zlib directory and follow the instructions in zlib/README,
|
|
then come back here and run "configure" or choose the appropriate
|
|
makefile.sys in the scripts directory.
|
|
|
|
Copy the file (or files) that you need from the
|
|
scripts directory into this directory, for example
|
|
|
|
MSDOS example: copy scripts\makefile.msc makefile
|
|
UNIX example: cp scripts/makefile.std makefile
|
|
|
|
Read the makefile to see if you need to change any source or
|
|
target directories to match your preferences.
|
|
|
|
Then read pnglibconf.dfa to see if you want to make any configuration
|
|
changes.
|
|
|
|
Then just run "make" which will create the libpng library in
|
|
this directory and "make test" which will run a quick test that reads
|
|
the "pngtest.png" file and writes a "pngout.png" file that should be
|
|
identical to it. Look for "9782 zero samples" in the output of the
|
|
test. For more confidence, you can run another test by typing
|
|
"pngtest pngnow.png" and looking for "289 zero samples" in the output.
|
|
Also, you can run "pngtest -m contrib/pngsuite/*.png" and compare
|
|
your output with the result shown in contrib/pngsuite/README.
|
|
|
|
Most of the makefiles will allow you to run "make install" to
|
|
put the library in its final resting place (if you want to
|
|
do that, run "make install" in the zlib directory first if necessary).
|
|
Some also allow you to run "make test-installed" after you have
|
|
run "make install".
|
|
|
|
Further information can be found in the README and libpng-manual.txt
|
|
files, in the individual makefiles, in png.h, and the manual pages
|
|
libpng.3 and png.5.

Using the ./configure script -- 16 December 2002.
|
|
=================================================
|
|
|
|
The ./configure script should work compatibly with what scripts/makefile.*
|
|
did, however there are some options you might need to add to configure
|
|
explicitly, which previously was done semi-automatically (if you didn't edit
|
|
scripts/makefile.* yourself, that is)
|
|
|
|
CFLAGS="-Wall -O -funroll-loops \
|
|
-malign-loops=2 -malign-functions=2" ./configure --prefix=/usr/include \
|
|
--with-pkgconfigdir=/usr/lib/pkgconfig --includedir=/usr/include
|
|
|
|
You can alternatively specify --includedir=/usr/include, /usr/local/include,
|
|
/usr/include/libpng%NN%, or whatever.
|
|
|
|
If you find that the configure script is out-of-date or is not supporting
|
|
your platform properly, try running autogen.sh to regenerate "configure",
|
|
"Makefile.in", and the other configuration files. Then try configure again.
