ANNOUNCE: DJGPP port of library PNG 1.6.2 uploaded.

[Juan Manuel Guerrero]

This is a port of library PNG 1.6.2 to MSDOS/DJGPP.


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

The sources require to compile snprintf, so I have taken the appropriate
files from djgpp's CVS repository. This is the only change to the
sources.
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 the package you will have to install the zlib port
available at
ftp.delorie.com and mirrors as:
ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/current/v2tk/zlib128b.zip
or:
ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/beta/v2tk/zlib128b.zip
Of course, you can download a newer version of zlib if available. The
zlib
stored in /current have been compiled with djdev203 and the one from
/beta
is compiled with djdev204.

To compile the source code LFN support is required. I have build it on
WinXP but I have never tried to build it on some other OS.
The source package is now distributed configured for both DJGPP 2.03 and
DJGPP 2.04. In the top srcdir there is a "_build.203" directory and a
"_build.204" directory. If for some reason you need to reconfigure the
sources delete the complete contain of the _build.20[3|4] directory and
run the following command:
..\djgpp\config.bat ./..

Please read the docs to become familiar with the products.




The port has been compiled using stock djdev203 (patchlevel 2) and
consists
