It may also work under later versions of VisualStudio. +You should be familiar with VisualStudio before using this directory. + +Initial preparations +==================== +You must enter some information in zlib.props before attempting to build +with this 'solution'. Please read and edit zlib.props first. You will +probably not be familiar with the contents of zlib.props - do not worry, +it is mostly harmless. + +This is all you need to do to build the 'release' and 'release library' +configurations. + +Debugging +========= +The release configurations default to /Ox optimization. Full debugging +information is produced (in the .pdb), but if you encounter a problem the +optimization may make it difficult to debug. Simply rebuild with a lower +optimization level (e.g. /Od.) + +Linking your application +======================== +Normally you should link against the 'release' configuration. This builds a +DLL for libpng 1.5 with the default runtime options used by Visual Studio +2010. In particular the runtime library is the "MultiThreaded DLL" version. +If you use Visual Studio defaults to build your application you will have no +problems. + +If you don't use the Visual Studio defaults your application must still be built +with the default runtime option (/MD). If, for some reason, it is not then your +application will crash inside libpng15.dll as soon as libpng tries to read +from a file handle you pass in. + +If you do not want to use the DLL, for example for a very small application, +the 'release library' configuration may be more appropriate. This is built +with a non-standard runtime library - the "MultiThreaded" version. When you +build your application it must be compiled with this option (/MT), otherwise +it will not build (if you are lucky) or crash (if you are not.) + +Stop reading here +================= +You have enough information to build a working application. + +Debug versions have limited support +=================================== +This solution includes limited support for debug versions of libpng. You +do not need these unless your own solution itself uses debug builds (it is +far more effective to debug on the release builds, there is no point building +a special debug build.) + +The debug build of libpng is minimally supported. Support for debug builds of +zlib is also minimal. You really don't want to do this. |
