PngDecoder_CreateInstance Failed

Post by HDL »

When I configure and compile from source, Wine successfully detects libpng, but when running Wine it shows this:

Code: Select all

HDLs-MacBook-Pro:~ HDL$
I compiled the 32-bit library of libpng:

Code: Select all

zlib is universal:

As you can tell, my prefix for all of these is /usr/local.

How do I fix this error?

I figured it out. Posting my solution for others who may encounter this problem. The configure script was setting it to look for libpng in my X11 path, rather than the version I compiled in /usr/local/lib. I used this to solve it:

Code: Select all

./configure PNG_CFLAGS=-I/usr/local/include PNG_LIBS=-L/usr/local/lib
