Introduction to libpng
The libpng package contains
libraries used by other programs for reading and writing PNG files.
The PNG format was designed as a replacement for GIF and, to a
lesser extent, TIFF, with many improvements and extensions and lack
of patent problems.
This package is known to build and work properly using an LFS-11.2
platform.
