[Doxygen-develop] libpng problem

[Ryunosuke S. <su...@ho...>]

Hi doxygen developers,

I'm porting on cygwin, but cygwin maintainers say,

-----------------------------------
They say that doxygen must exclude libpng source files.
They dislike one package include other library without dynamic linking.
I will obey their arguments on cygwin "only".
I don't know we must exclude libpng on all platform.
I think windows developers needs the source files.

Would you give me your opinion?

Just modify the link line under the win32-g++ tmake dir, to use -lpng.dll
instead of -lpng

Hi.

It's a quite strange.

Isn't libpng under GPL (or LGPL) ? I don't know it. If so, the porting is
under the GPL (or LGPL) too (copyleft of GPL and LGPL).

Since Doxygen is under GPL it will not be a problem to link doxygen to it.

See you...
