AIX Open Source Packages

Description

The libPNG package contains a library of functions for creating and manipulating PNG (Portable Network Graphics) image format files. PNG is a bit-mapped graphics format similar to the GIF format. PNG was created to replace the GIF format, since GIF uses a patented data compression algorithm.

Libpng should be installed if you need to manipulate PNG format image files.

The library is available as 32-bit and 64-bit:

If you are compiling a 32-bit program, no special compiler options are needed.
If you are compiling a 64-bit program, you have to compile and link your application with "cc_r -q64" or "gcc -maix64".
