=============================================================================== IMPORTANT: Tested only with zlib ver. 1.13, libpng ver. 1.0.{5,6}, jpeg ver. 6b =============================================================================== 1) You need libpng, zlib and jpeg sources (available, e.g., from ftp.uu.net/graphics/[png,jpeg]. 2) Their sources must be unpacked in sub-directories of this dir. zlib and libpng sources must be in sub-dirs named 'zlib' and 'libpng' (these fixed names are required by libpng documentation). Example: > unzip -d zlib zlib113.zip > tar xzvf libpng-1.0.6.tar.gz > mv libpng-1.0.6 libpng > tar xzvf jpegsrc.v6b.tar.gz If jpeg version is different from 6b, edit 'Makefile' and change the definition of JPEGDIR. 3) Then, > make should build Rbitmap.dll and install it in the R_HOME/bin.
