[mesa-users] MESA SDK for OS X : release 20111213

[Richard T. <tow...@as...>]

Hi folks --

Bill has discovered a problem with the recent release of the SDK for OS X -- see his email below. I've managed to fix this issue, and have posted a new release (20111213) on the website (only for OS X, however; for Linux, the 20111212 versions remain the most recent).

cheers,

Rich

To fix this problem, I've built the whole of libpng into the PGPLOT library (libpgplot), so the system libpng is no longer accessed. I've verified that this works on at least one Linux x86_64 box (thanks, Ben Brown!); please let me know if you encounter any more missing PNG-related symbols.
