6Assumptions:
7* The libpng source files are in ..\..
8* The zlib source files are in ..\..\..\zlib
9* The zlib project file is in . /* Warning: This is until the zlib project
10 files get intergrated into the next zlib release. The final zlib project
11 directory will then be ..\..\..\zlib\projects\visualc71. */

21 binaries set "libpng" as the startup project (Select "libpng" tree view
22 item + Project | Set as StartUp project). If you want to build and test the
23 binaries set it to "pngtest" (Select "pngtest" tree view item +
24 Project | Set as StartUp project)
25
264) Select "Build | Configuration Manager...".

33This project builds the libpng binaries as follows:
34
35* Win32_DLL_Release\libpng13.dll DLL build
36* Win32_DLL_Debug\libpng13d.dll DLL build (debug version)
37* Win32_DLL_ASM_Release\libpng13.dll DLL build using ASM code
38* Win32_DLL_ASM_Debug\libpng13d.dll DLL build using ASM (debug version)
39* Win32_DLL_VB\libpng13vb.dll DLL build for Visual Basic, using stdcall
40* Win32_LIB_Release\libpng.lib static build
41* Win32_LIB_Debug\libpngd.lib static build (debug version)
42* Win32_LIB_ASM_Release\libpng.lib static build using ASM code
43* Win32_LIB_ASM_Debug\libpngd.lib static build using ASM (debug version)

45Notes:
46
47If you change anything in the source files, or select different compiler
48settings, please change the DLL name to something different than any of
49the above names. Also, make sure that in your "pngusr.h" you define
50PNG_USER_PRIVATEBUILD and PNG_USER_DLLFNAME_POSTFIX according to the
51instructions provided in "pngconf.h".
52
53All DLLs built by this project use the Microsoft dynamic C runtime library
54MSVCR71.DLL (MSVCR71D.DLL for debug versions). If you distribute any of the
55above mentioned libraries you may have to include this DLL in your package.
