Re: libpng problems with png_info_init, png_read_destroy


'man libpng' reveals:

png_read_init ---> png_create_read_struct
png_write_init ---> png_create_write_struct
png_info_init --> png_create_info_struct
png_read_destroy --> png_destroy_read_struct
png_write_destroy --> png_destroy_write_struct

The old methods have been deprecated.  They are currently marked 
INTERNAL and are not exported by the DLL, but  will be completely 
removed in the libpng-2.0.0 release.

If you MUST continue to use the old methods, then you should 
-DPNG_STATIC -DZLIB_STATIC when compiling, and -static when linking.
