Say What!??!

I downloaded this png compression tool, read it was really good............ anyway, I open the Install.txt, and get hit with this ...

There are sample Makefile.gcc and Makefile.msc for pngcrush, which you can use
by typing, for example

    make -f Makefile.gcc

However, all you should need to do is enter the pngcrush-n.n.n
directory and type

    cc -O -o pngcrush *.c -lm
    cp pngcrush /usr/local/bin  # or wherever you want

You might want to create your own Makefile if you are planning to do
something more complicated, like loading with your system's shared
libraries for libpng and zlib.

Here's a command for compiling on SGI IRIX:

    cc -n32 -fullwarn -O2 -IPA:plimit=256 -OPT:Olimit=0 -o pngcrush *.c -lm
    cp pngcrush /usr/local/bin

On a PC with DJGCC, you can type

    gcc -O3 -Wall -funroll-loops -o pngcrush *.c
    copy /B pmodstub.exe + pngcrush pngcrush.exe

then put pngcrush.exe wherever you want.

 

............ I think I understand the last line.............

it is directions for compiling the code into an executable...

On a PC with DJGCC, you can type

gcc -O3 -Wall -funroll-loops -o pngcrush *.c
copy /B pmodstub.exe + pngcrush pngcrush.exe



you need that DJGCC compiler, make sure it is either in the path or in the directory with the files...

and then follow those directions for the PC and complice source into the application...

I'd be careful though because if something isn't right about it, there is a chance it could dink your system some how...

Have a link to the site you got it from?

Koasati, check this out... That guy my wife went down south to fire hosed his laptop and she brought it home tonight. So I've been trying to pull as much of the data from the system because there is a lot of communications with clients and stuff on it we need to know about.

(dork was promising everyone everything and not telling anyone else)

anyway, so I recovered his deleted pst's and stuff, did a roll back and found some other things. I was reading through the business email section of one pst and the jackass was sending an Excell Spread Sheet to this guy telling him he needs to update his list... I opened up the attachment and there is three pages of Product Lisence numbers for the whole damn network including every single server OS, utility, Passwords for all the Pix boxes, Passwords for all the servers and bunches of other things....

I am really considering calling someone in the morning and having the County Sherrifs show up on his door step. Though with all that crap about private emails and stuff I don't know what repercussions could come from it. But I do know that guy is a serious security risk on any network he might eventually end up working on....

Thats what I am thinking...

I also have the email address and the name with location of the person he was sending those things to....

Citrix, Microsoft, IBM, SCO, Symantec, Medical Manager, MASS, and on and on... all the big ones in the medical field and also all the big ones in the network arena...

mmm...
some people don't have a clue...

Koasati: You have downloaded the source code for that app. That requires you to compile and link the files. But there is no need to use all that "make" and "gcc" stuff. On the download page ( http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=1689 ) you'll also find two ready to run versions.

First try this http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/pmt/pngcrush-1.5.10-DOS-MMX.zip?download .

If that doesn't work properly then try this http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/pmt/pngcrush-1.5.10-DOS.zip?download .

Note that pngcrush runs from a DOS-box only.

These two links are for the 1.5.10 version (with and without MMX processor support). If both of these don't work then try an older version. You can find these on the download page too. Do a search on that page for "pngcrush-executables".

Koasati, the example code contains Unix commands and references Unix file structure. Kinda strange considering I guessing you downloaded the Win32 binary.

Thanx guys.......... now I know why it was all greek to me. I was distracted the night I downloaded the file, and I guess I didn't read the info very well. Probably just clicked on the first download link I saw.  I'll pay better attention in the future.
