+Installing libpng version 1.2.29 - May 8, 2008
+
+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 and you have a reasonably
+up-to-date set of tools, running ./autogen.sh before running ./configure
+may fix the problem. You can also run the individual commands in
+autogen.sh with the --force option, if supported by your version of
+the tools. If you run 'libtoolize --force', though, this will replace
+the distributed, patched, version of ltmain.sh with an unpatched version
+and your shared library builds may fail to produce libraries with the
+correct version numbers.
+
+Instead, you can use one of the custom-built makefiles in the
+"scripts" directory
+
+ cp scripts/makefile.system makefile
+ make test
+ make install
+
+Or you can use one of the "projects" in the "projects" directory.
+
+If you want to use "cmake" (see www.cmake.org), copy CMakeLists.txt
+from the "scripts" directory to this directory and type
+
+ cmake . [-DPNG_MMX=YES] -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/path
+ make
+ make install
+
+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.
+
+You can rename the directories that you downloaded (they
+might be called "libpng-1.2.29" or "lpng109" and "zlib-1.2.1"
+or "zlib121") 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
+ contrib
+ gregbook
+ pngminus
+ pngsuite
+ visupng
+ projects
+ beos
+ c5builder (Borland)
+ visualc6 (msvc)
+ netware.txt
+ wince.txt
+ scripts
+ makefile.*
+ pngtest.png
+ etc.
+ zlib
+ README
+ *.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 directory and follow the instructions in
+projects\visualc6\README.txt.
+
+You can build libpng for WindowsCE by downloading and installing
+the projects\wince directory as instructed in the projects\wince.txt file, and
+then following the instructions in the README* files. Similarly, you can
+build libpng for Netware or Beos as instructed in projects\netware.txt
+or projects\beos.
+
+Else 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 pngconf.h 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".
+
+If you encounter a compiler error message complaining about the
+lines
+ __png.h__ already includes setjmp.h;
+ __dont__ include it again.;
+This means you have compiled another module that includes setjmp.h,
+which is hazardous because the two modules might not include exactly
+the same setjmp.h. If you are sure that you know what you are doing
+and that they are exactly the same, then you can comment out or
+delete the two lines. Better yet, use the cexcept interface
+instead, as demonstrated in contrib/visupng of the libpng distribution.
+
+Further information can be found in the README and libpng.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 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/png12, or whatever.
