Microsoft Developer Studio Project File, Format Version 7.10 for libpng.
Copyright (C) 2004 Simon-Pierre Cadieux.
This code is released under the libpng license.
For conditions of distribution and use, see copyright notice in png.h
Changes in libpng 15:
* The standard calling convention (used in all builds) is __stdcall for
libpng exported functions and __cdecl for function callbacks.
Consequently the VB configuration is no longer required but is provided
in libpng15vb.dll for backward compatibility.
* The DEF file is no longer required, the DLLs link by name. A standard
DEF file, libpng.def, is included in the distribution for applications
that require link by number (ordinal), builds that require link by
number should use the ordinals from this file (or from png.h).
Assumptions:
* The libpng source files are in ..\..
* The zlib source files are in ..\..\..\zlib
* The zlib project file is in . /* Warning: This is until the zlib project
files get intergrated into the next zlib release. The final zlib project
directory will then be ..\..\..\zlib\projects\visualc71. */
To use:
1) On the main menu, select "File | Open Solution".
Open "libpng.sln".
2) Display the Solution Explorer view (Ctrl+Alt+L)
3) Set one of the project as the StartUp project. If you just want to build the
binaries set "libpng" as the startup project (Select "libpng" tree view
item + Project | Set as StartUp project). If you want to build and test the
binaries set it to "pngtest" (Select "pngtest" tree view item +
Project | Set as StartUp project)
4) Select "Build | Configuration Manager...".
Choose the configuration you wish to build.
5) Select "Build | Clean Solution".
6) Select "Build | Build Solution (Ctrl-Shift-B)"
This project builds the libpng binaries as follows:
* Win32_DLL_Release\libpng15.dll DLL build
* Win32_DLL_Debug\libpng15d.dll DLL build (debug version)
* Win32_DLL_VB\libpng15vb.dll DLL build for Visual Basic, using stdcall
* Win32_LIB_Release\libpng.lib static build
* Win32_LIB_Debug\libpngd.lib static build (debug version)
Notes:
If you change anything in the source files, or select different compiler
settings, please change the DLL name to something different than any of
the above names. Also, make sure that in your "pngusr.h" you define
PNG_USER_PRIVATEBUILD and PNG_USER_DLLFNAME_POSTFIX according to the
instructions provided in "pngconf.h".
All DLLs built by this project use the Microsoft dynamic C runtime library
MSVCR71.DLL (MSVCR71D.DLL for debug versions). If you distribute any of the
above mentioned libraries you may have to include this DLL in your package.
For a list of files that are redistributable in Visual Studio see
