  • ANNOUNCE: DJGPP port of library PNG 1.6.39 uploaded.

    From [via djgpp-announce@delorie.com]" <@21:1/5 to All on Fri Dec 30 00:44:26 2022
    This is a port of library PNG 1.6.39 to MSDOS/DJGPP.


    DJGPP specific changes.
    =======================

    As for all binaries and libraries that handle images of any kind, it should
    be noted that files (streams) are *ALWAYS* openend in binary mode with all
    the well known implications on a DOS of WINDOWS OS if the stream comes from
    STDIN and/or STDOUT when these are still connected to the console.
    For the DJGPP port, the "SIGINT" and "SIGQUIT" signals are reenabled when
    the stream is connected to a TTY.
    Apart from this change only the usual files needed for configuration with
    djgpp have been added. That files are stored in the /djgpp directory.
    To configure, compile and use the package you will have to install the zlib
    port available at ftp.delorie.com and mirrors as:
    http://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/current/v2tk/zlb1212b.zip
    Of course, you can download a newer version of zlib if available.

    To compile the source code LFN support is required. I have build it on
    WinXP and Win98SE but I have never tried to build it on any other OS.


    As usual, all djgpp specific files (diffs, README files, etc.) are stored in
    the /djgpp directory. The sources have been configured to be build in the
    "0build" directory. If for some reason it does not work for you, delete its
    contents and configure from scratch again running the command:
    ..\djgpp\config.bat ../.

    For further information about library PNG please read the info docs and NEWS file.
