Compiling Tk::PNG on win32 (complications, more c/xs than perl)

by crazyinsomniac (Prior)
on Jul 15, 2002 at 08:59 UTC ( [id://181716]=perlquestion: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??

crazyinsomniac has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi. BUU wanted a ppm version of Tk-PNG-2.005, so I went downloaded it, downloaded and compiled zlib and libpng, and did like the readme suggests, so I do like
E:\dev\new\Tk-PNG-2.005>perl Makefile.PL -I./zlib -I./libpng -L./zlib +-L./libpng E:/dev/new/Tk-PNG-2.005 does not start with C:/Perl/site/lib i.e. building outside Tk itself Note (probably harmless): No library found for '-lpng' Note (probably harmless): No library found for '-lz' Finding dependancies for PNG.xs Finding dependancies for imgPNG.c Cannot find 'png.h' assume made Writing Makefile for Tk::PNG E:\dev\new\Tk-PNG-2.005>nmake Microsoft (R) Program Maintenance Utility Version 6.00.8168.0 Copyright (C) Microsoft Corp 1988-1998. All rights reserved. NMAKE : fatal error U1073: don't know how to make 'png.h' Stop.
I crack the makefile open, and search for png.h, and find
imgPNG$(OBJ_EXT) : imgPNG.c C:/Perl/site/lib/Tk/pTk/Lang.h \ C:/Perl/site/lib/Tk/pTk/Lang.m C:/Perl/site/lib/Tk/pTk/Lang.t \ C:/Perl/site/lib/Tk/pTk/LangIO.h C:/Perl/site/lib/Tk/pTk/Lang_f.h \ C:/Perl/site/lib/Tk/pTk/Xlib.h C:/Perl/site/lib/Tk/pTk/Xlib.m \ C:/Perl/site/lib/Tk/pTk/Xlib.t C:/Perl/site/lib/Tk/pTk/Xlib_f.h \ C:/Perl/site/lib/Tk/pTk/img.h C:/Perl/site/lib/Tk/pTk/imgInt.h \ C:/Perl/site/lib/Tk/pTk/imgInt.m C:/Perl/site/lib/Tk/pTk/imgInt.t \ C:/Perl/site/lib/Tk/pTk/imgInt_f.h C:/Perl/site/lib/Tk/pTk/tk.h \ C:/Perl/site/lib/Tk/pTk/tk.m C:/Perl/site/lib/Tk/pTk/tk.t \ C:/Perl/site/lib/Tk/pTk/tkConfig.h C:/Perl/site/lib/Tk/pTk/tkEvent.h +\ C:/Perl/site/lib/Tk/pTk/tkEvent.m C:/Perl/site/lib/Tk/pTk/tkEvent.t \ C:/Perl/site/lib/Tk/pTk/tkEvent_f.h C:/Perl/site/lib/Tk/pTk/tkInt.h \ C:/Perl/site/lib/Tk/pTk/tkInt.m C:/Perl/site/lib/Tk/pTk/tkInt.t \ C:/Perl/site/lib/Tk/pTk/tkInt_f.h C:/Perl/site/lib/Tk/pTk/tkPort.h \ C:/Perl/site/lib/Tk/pTk/tkVMacro.h C:/Perl/site/lib/Tk/pTk/tkWinPort. +h \ C:/Perl/site/lib/Tk/pTk/tk_f.h png.h
I change C:/Perl/site/lib/Tk/pTk/tk_f.h png.h to C:/Perl/site/lib/Tk/pTk/tk_f.h libpng/png.h
That don't help much so I crack open imgPNG.c and find
#ifdef MAC_TCL #include "libpng:png.h" #else #ifdef HAVE_IMG_H # include <png.h> #else # include "png.h" #endif #endif
SO I change the include "png.h" to include "libpng/png.h" and proceed from there.

And I get

What the heck am I doing? Do I have uncompatible versions of libpng and zlib? This is outside of my scope of knowledge.

    As I see this situation, Makefile.PL warned you that it misses those libraries "png" and "z", so you really need to "show" them to Makefile.PL somehow. I suggest you editing Config.pm to add extra libraries path.

    Those unresolved externals that MSVC++ explains are symbols from those libraries.

    BTW what "perl -V" outputs in your case?

    Courage, the Cowardly Dog.

      Wouldn't passing -I and -L do that? (extra paths) Editing Config.pm is out of the question.

      so you really need to "show" them to Makefile.PL somehow.

      I'm open for suggestions (I cracked open Makefile.PL at one point, added stuff to LIBS and INC, as well as cracking the Makefile itself open and doing that under CCFLAGS, but that didn't really solve anything I didn't by hardcoding the stuff myself as described in the original thread ~ I really disliked doing that)

      At this point I really am convinced (since i'm using zlib 1.1.4, cause I can't find no other) that this is mostly due to my zlib version ~ most likely the Tk::PNG stuff needs to be updated to work with the newer zlib/libpng (imgPNG.c is the heart'n'soul of the module ~ i'm not an xs hacker).

    Not sure about your compiling issues, but a PPM of Tk-PNG-2.005 already exists. It only shows up when using the PPM3 command line interface, and it's apparently not in the repository that the original PPM interface uses.

    Update:
    This PPM is available for Linux only. The ActiveState build I was using (631) didn't display that information. After upgrading to build 633, PPM displays the following:

    Available Platforms: 1. i686-linux-thread-multi

    ++crazyinsomniac for pointing this out to me and prompting me to grab the latest build.

Files=1, Tests=4, 2 wallclock secs ( 0.00 cusr + 0.00 csys = 0.00 C +PU)
    and I even saw some picture on a screen. Honestly!

    A few tips what were of concern here.

    • I have installed Compress::Zlib, which is compiled by AS, but did not had "zlib.h" for *that* version (which is 1.0.4), so I've downloaded zlib113 and proceeded but very carefully not to confuse them ("zlib.dll" file is here and there, and it's important not to confuse them)
    • If you decide to build zlib, then unzip zlib into directory where you build your module but into subdirectory "zlib", go in there. "makefile.nt" in "nt" is which I used and succeeded.
    • Tk::PNG-2.005 has libpng in it, and it's good but be careful when building it, because (at least for me) ./libpng/makefile.vc was confusing and I lost about a hour trying to figure out what was wrong, and found "right" file which was okay for that configuration and it's name is -- ./libpng/scripts/makefile.vcwin32.
      Needless to say but important to do that you must copy it to ".." once and call it as "nmake /f makefile.vcwin32". Hmm. now I realised that "nmake /f scripts\makefile.vcwin32" will also work. Okay. A single touch at the very end of that file right before "libpng.lib" was created -del ... instead of just del ....
    • after that go to right place, do "perl Makefile.PL" and you should be okay if freshly created libs are in their right place. When installing your module, remember that perl should "see" right zlib.dll when running it. Probably there exists a way (right rule for right makefile) to create static lib to not confuse different zlib.dll-s.

    update: some HTML formating cleanup

    Courage, the Cowardly Dog.

      perl -e "$q=$_;map({chr unpack qq;H*;,$_}split(q;;,q*H*));print;$q/$q;"

        Indeed, there were two exactly same places with that incompatibilities between Borland C++ and MSVC++ compilers, and I forgot to mention them earlier. In order to compile, I edited that file in error (zconf.h) in two places just to throw away a couple of lines for Borland compiler some version, so I stepped forward, and that was like a right direction.

        Seems to me like "MakeMaker" is to blame here. Although I saw following places:

        #if (defined(__BORLANDC__)&&(__BORLANDC__<=0x520)) \ || (defined(__MINGW32__) && !defined(_ANONYMOUS_UNION)) ....... #endif
        in perl source code distribution, which are essentially same as we faced.

        BTW do you wish for me to email my build directory for reference? It's ~1Mb in size.

        addition: may be we should prepare compatibility patch for miscellaneous compilers on win32 systems and sent it to author of a module?
