| Known bugs in libpng version 1.2.38 | |
| 1. February 23, 2006: The custom makefiles don't build libpng with -lz. | |
| STATUS: This is a subject of debate. The change will probably be made | |
| as a part of a major overhaul of the makefiles in libpng version 1.4.0. | |
| 2. February 24, 2006: The Makefile generated by the "configure" script | |
| fails to install symbolic links | |
| libpng12.so => libpng12.so.0.1.2.9betaN | |
| that are generated by the custom makefiles. | |
| 3. September 4, 2007: There is a report that pngtest crashes on MacOS 10. | |
| STATUS: workarounds are | |
| 1) Compile without optimization (crashes are observed with | |
| -arch i386 and -O2 or -O3, using gcc-4.0.1). | |
| 2) Compile pngtest.c with PNG_DEBUG defined (the bug goes away if | |
| you try to look at it). | |
| 3) Ignore the crash. The library itself seems to be OK. | |
