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.
Comments
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.
