Please release Windows binaries with your source.
So that I don't have to compile it myself, and instead can start using it as a component in the software I'm writing immediately after downloading it, please compile a Windows DLL of it, and include it in a BIN folder in the root folder of your source code package. If you do not have access to a PC running the Windows OS, and have Linux only on your computer, please cross-compile it to a Windows DLL using cross-compiling techniques with whatever C compiler you have access to on Linux.
this project DOES NOT ship pre-built libraries
if it starts shipping for windows, it will eventually need to ship for all other supported platforms
which leads to A LOT of work ensuring cross compilation works, especially for platforms that vary significantly in versions
such as MacOSX (ABI changes every version or so) and linux (minefield of compatibility with all different kinds of distrubutions and variants)
a prebuilt libpng library probably exists in vcspkg somewhere (vcspkg is visual studio package manager, mainly for windows)
is this a wont fix
?
