[Gdal-dev] external libs flags for PNG and JPEG on windows

[Yewondwossen Assefa]

Hi There,

 For those building gdal on windows, there are new flags in the
nmake.opt file which can be used to build gdal with external jpeg and
png libraries. These flags are :

#if using an external jpeg library uncomment the follwing lines
JPEG_EXTERNAL_LIB = 1
JPEGDIR = c:/projects/jpeg-6b
JPEG_LIB = $(JPEGDIR)/libjpeg.lib

#if using an external png library uncomment the follwing lines
PNG_EXTERNAL_LIB = 1
PNGDIR = c:/projects/libpng-1.0.8
PNG_LIB = $(PNGDIR)/libpng.lib


Note : there is a new subfolder libjpeg which was created under the jpeg

directory. All files *.c , *.h have been moved into that directory.

Later,
