Re: [ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: {gd/libgd2/libgd-devel}-2.0.36RC1-11: An open source code library for the dynamic creation of images.

[Tatsuro MATSUOKA <tmacchant2 at yahoo dot co dot jp>]

Hello

I'm glad to see that libgd2 is updated to fix the fontconfig related bug.

I aplogized that I have not told that gd_png.c should be modified 
when linking with the libpng-1.4, which is current release of the libpng.

The gd_png.c in gd-2.0.36RC1 uses the function png_check_sig in the libpng-1.2 or earlier.
However the png_check_sig is removed from the libpng-1.4.

In the libpng-1.4.1.txt in the libpng-1.4 source from the line 3007,
one finds the following
***********************************
The function
    png_check_sig(sig, num)
was replaced with
    !png_sig_cmp(sig, 0, num)
It has been deprecated since libpng-0.90.
***********************************

Therefore the patch will below is required for when linking with the libpng-1.4.
************************************************

 	return NULL;
   }
 
-	if (!png_check_sig (sig, 8)) { /* bad signature */
+	if (png_sig_cmp(sig, 0, 8) != 0) { /* bad signature */
     	return NULL;		/* bad signature */
 	}
***************************************** 
Currently the version of the linpng in cygwin is 1.2 so that png_check_sig does not cause error.

When the libpng on the cygwin will updated, please apply the above patch and update libgd. 

I wrote the above for your information.

Regards

Tatsuro
