2 Known bugs in libpng version 1.2.44
4 1. December 4, 2009: The PNG_NO_ERROR_NUMBERS macro was inadvertently
5 defined in libpng-1.2.41/pngconf.h, which may cause a problem with
6 building a binary-compatible library.
8 STATUS: This will be fixed in libpng-1.2.42. In the meantime, simply
9 delete the definition from line :
11 2. February 23, 2006: The custom makefiles don't build libpng with -lz.
13 STATUS: This is a subject of debate. The change will probably be made
14 as a part of a major overhaul of the makefiles in libpng version 1.4.0.
16 3. February 24, 2006: The Makefile generated by the "configure" script
17 fails to install symbolic links
18 libpng12.so => libpng12.so.0.1.2.9betaN
19 that are generated by the custom makefiles.
21 4. September 4, 2007: There is a report that pngtest crashes on MacOS 10.
23 STATUS: workarounds are
24 1) Compile without optimization (crashes are observed with
25 -arch i386 and -O2 or -O3, using gcc-4.0.1).
26 2) Compile pngtest.c with PNG_DEBUG defined (the bug goes away if
27 you try to look at it).
28 3) Ignore the crash. The library itself seems to be OK.
