Comment (by [EMAIL PROTECTED]):
I played around a bit with this new release of libpng. It has an
autotooled build system now, but I suppose we shouldn't use it.
Even though the INSTALL file says to CMMI, the KNOWNBUG file
identifies (rightly) that the library name doesn't represent the
version correctly and that system library builders should use the
custom makefile method used in past versions.
I feel it would be trivial to use the autotools installation and
create properly versioned library names and symlinks, however,
that probably isn't the 'right' thing to do. Unfortunately, the
custom makefiles have been modified and the patch no longer
applies and zlib and libm do not get pulled in properly. This is
a trivial fix as well.
I'm going to play around a bit more and see how much hacking is
required in Makefile.am to use the autotools and come out with a
library named libpng12.so.0.1.2.9. Right now libtool is creating a
library named libpng12.so.0.9.0, which probably would be fine as the
symlinks libpng12.so and libpng12.so.0 would still link to all the
packages looking for libpng.
