Subject: [ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: libpng-1.0.11-1
> The libpng package has been updated to version 1.0.11-1. libpng is a
> library that provides routines to access and manipulate Portable Network
> Graphics (PNG) images. PNG is a lossless, patent-unencumbered image
> format intended to replace GIF.
>
> Since the png-developers group released version 1.0.11 and our previous
> cygwin version was based on 1.0.9, I updated our package.
>
> CHANGES:
>
> - many bugfixes from the png-developers group between 1.0.9 and 1.0.11.
>
> - supports the '-DALL_STATIC' compile-time flag as a synonym for
> -DPNG_STATIC (and ZLIB_STATIC). This should help make it easier to
> compile statically a project with many dependencies. However, this is a
> long-term project: each 'dll-ized' library must be updated before
> '-DALL_STATIC' is useful. Don't hold your breath. So far, the
> following libraries support -DALL_STATIC:
> zlib-1.1.3-6
> libpng-1.0.11-1
> ncurses-5.2-5
>
> INSTALLATION:
>
> To update your installation, click on the "Install Cygwin now" link on
> the http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin web page. This downloads setup.exe
> to your system.
>
> Run setup and answer all of the questions. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE
> choose a mirror site for your download. The 'sources.redhat.com' site
> is badly overloaded. The mirrors below have the latest version of this
> package:
>
> ftp://ftp.sunsite.utk.edu/pub/cygwin/ (US)
> ftp://ftp.uni-erlangen.de/pub/pc/gnuwin32/cygwin/mirrors/cygnus
> (Germany)
> ftp://ftp.mirror.ac.uk/sites/sourceware.cygnus.com/pub/cygwin/ (UK)
>
> The setup.exe program will figure out what needs to be updated on your
> system and should install the libpng package automatically.
>
> If you have questions or comments, please send them to the Cygwin

> NOTES:
>
> o If you are building a package that depends on libpng, and you wish to
> link *statically*, define -DPNG_STATIC *and* -DZLIB_STATIC (or just
> define -DALL_STATIC) to get the 'correct' #define's in png.h/pngconf.h
> *and* zlib.h/zconf.h when compiling the .o files in your package. Also,
> use 'gcc -static' when linking your package.
>
> o No special -Ddefine options or link options are needed when building a
> package that depends on libpng and you want to link dynamically
> (recommended).
>
> o I was able to successfully compile and pass libpng's internal tests
> ('make test') with all of the following build enviromenments:
> - static
> - dll
> - static with pnggccrd (assembler optimizations)
> - dll with pnggccrd
> - static (compiled with 'gcc -mwin32')
> - dll (+ 'gcc -mwin32')
> - static with pnggccrd (+ 'gcc -mnin32')
> - dll with pnggccrd (+ 'gcc -mwin32')
> However, the binary package did not use any of the assembler code, and I
> didn't use 'gcc -mwin32' to compile it. According to tests reported
> on the libpng-developer's mailing list, the pnggccrd code did not speed
> it up all that much, and it breaks cygwin's compatibility with older
> processors (a no-no). If you want to build your own libpng with those
> enhancements, download the source --
> /usr/doc/Cygwin/libpng-1.0.11.README
> contains instructions for building your own asm-accelerated libpng.
