libpng 1.2.29

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

The libpng port is at version 1.2.26 and works fine. Livecheck informs me that version 1.2.27 has been released, but it won't compile (on Mac OS X 10.4.11 PPC at least):

Error: Target org.macports.build returned: shell command " cd "/macports/var/macports/build/_Volumes_data_macports_ports_graphics_libpng/work/libpng-1.2.27" && make all " returned error 2

Similar stuff is happening to non-Mac users too; see ​their bug report on SourceForge.

This MacPorts ticket is to document the fact that we know a new version is available and to explain why we can't update to it at this time. If a patch emerges to let us install 1.2.27 we'll use that, or if 1.2.28 is released we'll update to that.

libpng 1.2.28 has been released but does not fix this issue for me.

Does it build OK with configure.cc=gcc ? (instead of /usr/bin/gcc-4.0)

autogen.sh should be the way to go otherwise (run in the pre-configure)

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

1.2.29beta03 and 1.2.29rc01 build fine with no additional changes to the port. So hopefully we can update to 1.2.29 when it's released.

Updated to 1.2.29 in r36638.
