Haveing just struggled against libpng, I have to say it offers the strongest challange of all libs. First, I had to rename the thing to png instead of libpng. Second, I had to change the include directories on cximage(yup, that's a new project for you) adding an extra "..\" before each one. Fortunately enough, png already has the zlib source properly set, so no problem there. Third, it has a bunch of silly build configurations. The ones you're after are "LIB" and "LIB Debug", but the default is "DLL ASM" or something so you have to watch out for that. Also, like with previous libraries, you need to change in the "LIB" and "LIB Debug" configurations for it to use multi-threaded run-time libs instead of single-threaded. Forth, I had to change the output and intermediate directories so it does msvc-styled \Debug \Release builds instead of throwing them in the middle of nowhere. And fifth, since I work in a multi-project solution, I also had to match the configurations of the different projects, so it doesn't go compiling "DLL *" on me.
Long story short, 0.38 will come with ready-to-use *.vcproj files and emule.sln including all projects+configurations+dependancies.
Question is: If I can release those in under a k, couldn't the official developers do the same?
Oh, and don't forget to put "Jigle"
inside "src", otherwise it won't compile. Strange for it to come outside in the zip.
