To build pngquant from source on Mac OS X and most Linux distributions,
|
|
simply run:
|
|
|
|
$ make
|
|
|
|
It will create pngquant executable in the current directory. If you'd like
|
|
to install it system-wide:
|
|
|
|
$ sudo make install
|
|
|
|
By default it will be installed in /usr/local/bin. To install it in another
|
|
directory run `./configure --prefix=dir && make`.
|
|
|
|
pngquant uses GNU Makefile. To compile on FreeBSD you will need to use gmake,
|
|
and on Windows the MinGW compiler (MSVC does not support C99).
|
|
|
|
pngquant will compile with libpng 1.2, but you should use 1.5 or later.
|
|
|
|
|
|
##Compilation with OpenMP
|
|
|
|
$ ./configure --with-openmp && make
|
|
|
|
This makes pngquant faster in wall-clock time on multicore machines when one
|
|
image at a time is processed.
|
|
|
|
However, it increases total CPU time used, and thus it's not most optimal
|
|
for server-side and parallelized batch jobs which run many pngquant
|
|
instances at a time.
|
|
|
|
On OS X you may need to install gcc and add `CC=gcc-4.9` to `./configure`,
|
|
because clang doesn't support OpenMP (yet).
|
|
|
|
|
|
##Compilation without Cocoa image reader
|
|
|
|
Mac OS X version uses Cocoa to read images. This adds support for color profiles
|
|
and other image formats as input. `./configure --without-cocoa` switches back
|
|
to libpng.
|
|
|
|
|
|
##Compilation with Little CMS 2
|
|
|
|
$ ./configure --with-lcms2 && make
|
|
|
|
Enables support for ICC v2/v4 color profiles when reading images.
|
|
Requires Little CMS library available via `pgk-config` (e.g. install `liblcms2-dev`).
|
|
|
|
|
|
##Compilation of `libimagequant.a` only
|
|
|
|
If you want to use pngquant's conversion algorithm without loading/saving PNG
|
|
files, then you can run `make` in the `lib/` directory.
|
|
The library doesn't need libpng or zlib.
