I just got informed (kudos to Leonard Rosenthol) that we carry the zlib and
libpng libraries in the abi tree!
It's almost emarrasing to have been working on AW for this long without
knowing this! :-)
Well, that would explain some confusion regarding the MSVC project files. I
always assumed people had these installed in other places.
Re. zlib I can fix this without any problems, but I'd like like to add a
_MSC_VER specific section in the zlib.h (to select the right library during
linking). I know that platform specific macros in XP code is a definitely
no-no, why I'd like som input on this issue. I could either create a zlib.h
in the MSVC6 module that wrapped the real zlib.h and then added these
(#pragma's no less), or I could just use my existing (local) zlib.h and fix
up the paths. Comments?
Now on to something more serious: we apparently have libpng 1.0.3 (or some
such) in the tree, but I noticed I have 1.0.8 locally. Do we have a plan to
deal with this kind of issues or are we just to continue to use 1.0.3?
