2006.04.20 - Second development snapshot for 0.4.0 released.

Compiles properly on at least:

  • Linux (Gentoo)
  • MinGW (Windows)
  • Solaris 10
Main change from yesterdays snapshot is the much improved detection and compiling of dependency libraries. i.e. libpng, libungif, libz.

If you've previously had problems compiling Ming on your plaform when you know these libraries are installed, try again now. :)

This snapshot possibly still compiles ok on MacOS X too, but I don't have a Mac to test it on.  Haven't tested it on FreeBSD either. ;)

2006.04.19 - Development snapshot for 0.4.0 released.

Should now compile ok on at least:

  • Linux (Gentoo)
  • MinGW (Windows)
  • Solaris 10
Possibly still compiles ok on MacOS X too, but I don't have a Mac to test it on.  Haven't tested it on FreeBSD either. ;)

On MinGW and Solaris, the core libraries build and install, but you'll likely have to comment out the building of the "util" subdirectories:
