If I list (with the command 'ar t libpng.a') the contents of libpng.a as distributed in libpng-1.2.8-lib.zip, I get a list of compiled files with names equal to the compiled files (png.o, pngset.o, etc.). This shows that libpng.a is a static library. For libpng.dll.a, I get a list of names of the form d000xxx.o, where xxx is a number from 000 to 371. This shows that libpng.dll.a is a dynamic link library. What are the results for the libraries installed on your system? Also, compiling with the flags '-static -D__STATIC__ -DPNG_STATIC' and then linking with -lpng and the flag '-Wl,-static' gives me a static executable. Without these flags, one gets an executable linked to the DLL. See the Makefile in libpng-1.2.8-src.zip for an example. What are the results for a compilation and linking on your system? If you are still unsuccessfull, please report the exact content of the commands that you used as well as the setup of your system, in particular the content of the PATH environment variable, and the location of Mingw and of the installed libpng libraries. ______________________________________________________________________ You are receiving this email because you elected to monitor this forum.
