Libpng incompatibilities

#1

Hi Jules,
I have an issue with some plugins that use png files, giving this error on the terminal when first loaded:

libpng warning: Application was compiled with png.h from libpng-1.6.1 libpng warning: Application is running with png.c from libpng-1.2.46 libpng error: Incompatible libpng version in application and library (repeated a few times) Floating point exception

I’m not exactly sure what’s going on, I have Juce using the internal/static libpng code - ie, the usual:

Could it be that some parts of Juce code are picking the system-wide libpng version instead of the local one?

I’ll investigate more…

Maybe you need to strip the exe to avoid it exporting any of its internal symbols?

#3

stripping the symbols didnt help, but using “-fvisibility=hidden” did, thanks!

(this was only an issue in debug builds, where I didn’t had that^ option set)
