configure. In configure builds 'make install' changes/adds links like png.h
and libpng.a to point to the newly installed, versioned, files (e.g.
libpng17/png.h and libpng17.a). Three new configure options and some
rearrangement of Makefile.am allow creation of these links to be disabled.
1) Added the 'compile' program to the list of programs that must be cleaned
in autogen.sh
2) Added 'subdir-objects' which causes .c files in sub-directories to be
compiled such that the corresponding .o files are also in the
sub-directory. This is because automake 1.14 warns that the
current behavior of compiling to the top level directory may be removed
in the future.
3) Updated dependencies on pnglibconf.h to match the new .o locations and
added all the files in contrib/libtests and contrib/tools that depend
on pnglibconf.h
4) Added 'BUILD_SOURCES = pnglibconf.h'; this is the automake recommended
way of handling the dependencies of sources that are machine generated;
unfortunately it only works if the user does 'make all' or 'make check',
so the dependencies (3) are still required.
For inflate, reverted previous fixes.
Added fixitxt and pngdeflate to the built programs and removed warnings
from the source code and timepng that are revealed as a result. Fixed
fixitxt when the chunk length is more than 65535 (untested, no test case).
internal 'prefix.h' file can only be generated correctly after
pnglibconf.h, however the dependency was not in Makefile.am. The
symptoms are unpredictable depending on the order make chooses to
build pngprefix.h and pnglibconf.h, often the error goes unnoticed
because there is a system pnglibconf.h to use instead.
FLOATING_POINT options were switched off, png.h ended up with lone ';'
characters. This is not valid ANSI-C outside a function. The ';'
characters have been moved inside the definition of PNG_FP_EXPORT and
PNG_FIXED_EXPORT. 2) If either option was switched off, the declaration
of the corresponding functions were completely omitted, even though some
of them are still used internally. The result is still valid, but
produces warnings from gcc with some warning options (including -Wall). The
fix is to cause png.h to declare the functions with PNG_INTERNAL_FUNCTION
when png.h is included from pngpriv.h.
Also some layout regularization and removal of introduced tab characters
(replaced with 3-character indentation). Obsolete macros identified by
autoupdate have been removed; the replacements are all in 2.59 so
the pre-req hasn't been changed. --enable-werror checks for support
for -Werror (or the given argument) in the compiler. This mimics the
gcc configure option by allowing -Werror to be turned on safely; without
the option the tests written in configure itself fail compilation because
they cause compiler warnings.
of parallelism during 'make' the use of the same temporary file names such
as 'dfn*' can result in a race where a temporary file from one arm of the
build is deleted or overwritten in another arm. This changes the
temporary files for suffix rules to always use $* and ensures that the
non-suffix rules use unique file names.
