Libpng is bundled with fltk anyway, and is almost certainly on your development box too. You do not have to modify libpng in any way, you just need to use it a bit differently; the standard way we use it is to pass it a filename, it opens the file and decompresses the contents into RAM, which you can then use (and this is what the FL_PNG_Image stuff does for you.) What you need to do instead is pass libpng a pointer to the compressed data in memory (rather than the filename) and have it decompress that into RAM for you to use. I have a worked example of that somewhere, but I've spent a while looking for it and can not find it anywhere... Sorry. A quick Google about should throw up some worked examples though, I'm sure. Anyway, once you have your image decompressed into RAM, you can easily load it into a fltk image - there are a couple of ways to do this, see this how-to for a few starters: http://www.fltk.org/articles.php?L468 Thereafter, well, hope for the best!
