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.

Jesus why is it so
Jesus why is it so complicated to install all this stuff?! I'm just giving up. This is too complicated.
it is not complicated
No complicated if you use linux..but i suppose you use Windows
In that cae i suggest you to wait a bit..if you read the author comment, he also would like a Windows (and a Mac ) build
and there are good chances that somebody will help, at least for windows
just monitor the topic..and cross the fingers
a little complicated
Yes, a little complicated in linux too, at least, more complicated than a "gimptool-2.0 --install" or "./configure; make; make install" as you need a special, patched version of libpng. I don't want libraries installed in /usr/local, because there will be a lot of problem later, and i'm not sure how to statically compil this. Playing with options --with-libpng-lib=, --with-libpng-include=, and perhaps the environment variable PNG_LIBS too ? But how to staticaly compil ? Is it possible ? The REAME and the INSTALL doesn't help us a lot, and i've found that's not very easy even for a eleven years linux user who is not a developer.
This is what the registry is all about: helping each other
My personal motto:
Winners never quit, and quitters never win.
Why not ask for help for your particular OS, etc, instead of making a post admitting you're giving up? It might be easier than you think.
I've been wanting a plugin
I've been wanting a plugin for this for a while now. Thanks for submitting this.
