How to install without replacing the system libpng library

If you have installed *patched* libpng at /usr/local/libpng,

1. You can use pkg-config to search patched libpng.

$ env PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/libpng/pkgconfig:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH ./configure

2. Or, you can use --with-libpng-include=DIR and --with-libpng-lib=DIR options.

$ ./configure \
  --with-libpng-include=/usr/local/libpng/include \
  --with-libpng-lib=/usr/local/libpng/lib

After install, maybe you need LD_LIBRARY_PATH to search the runtime library path.

$ env LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/libpng/lib gimp

"Automatically Detected" does not work

Because same as PNG is handled by PNG plug-in in the GIMP. Please select file type PNG+APNG image.

mind that 2.7 is classified as "beta"

anyway i am using from long without problem (BUT i do save VERY often ) so here the link for the 64 bit version

www.partha.com

python support is included there is a normal and a portable version
both are obviously virus free BUT for the portable some antivirus may raise a alarm for "gimprun.exe"
Obviously is a false positive !

a version for 32 bit windows which works very nicely.
You have to have Parthas version of Gimp-2.7.3 for it to work because of the hard coding.
Download it here - http://www.gimpchat.com/download/file.php?id=3125

Installation:
1. Copy the dll file to the Gimp-2.7.3\bin directory (typically c:\Program Files\Gimp-2.7.3\bin)
2. Copy the exe file to the Gimp-2.7.3 plugins directory (typically c:\Program Files\Gimp-2.7.3\lib\gimp\2.0\plug-ins)
3. Copy the ui file to the Gimp 2.7.3 ui directory (typically c:\Program Files\Gimp-2.7.3\share\gimp\2.0\ui\plug-ins).
4. For the time being, rename the png plugin to something else (typically found at c:\Program Files\Gimp-2.7.3\lib\gimp\2.0\plug-ins), for example file-png.old.
5. Restart (or start) Gimp.

Thanks for this awesome compile Partha!

Bonjour,

Now works flawlessly.
Thanks samj.

Took me 18 minutes to install it. Didn't know why - I just couldn't. But now it works fine. I also use http://preloaders.net for apng and gif animations

https://launchpad.net/~hanmac/+archive/ppa

This worked for me.

After adding the PPA, then just

sudo apt-get install gimp-apng

I tried adding it to my ppa list. The save button remained disabled.

For Gimp 2.7.2 and +

Bonjour

The problem with the window, Export Image as PNG.
Is empty, I have only three buttons, Help, Export, Cancel.
GIMP 2.7.3 64bit portable (Partha)
Thanks,
pogo

I also had only "Help", "Export", and "Cancel", but I'm using the 32-bit plugin from the link in the top post and GIMP 2.6.11 from http://gimp-win.sourceforge.net/ (not Partha's build)

My solution:

When I attempted to save a file, a Command Prompt window appeared behind the window with the 3 buttons. Scrolling up in that window, I read an error that GIMP was looking for the plugin not in my user folder, but in its installation folder (on Windows XP, by the way):

C:\Program Files (x86)\GIMP-2.0\lib\gimp\2.0\plug-ins\

Moving the plugin's exe and ui files to that folder fixed the "only 3 buttons" problem for me. Now when I save a PNG+APNG, a full settings window appears with animation options: http://i.imgur.com/szgcy.png

Bonjour,

Remove ...\lib\gimp\2.0\plug-ins\file-png.exe
