RM48L930: How to build libpng / zlib

Keith

Part Number: RM48L930

Hello,

I need to add the open source module libpng to my Hercules image. libpng makes calls to library zlib for file compression. Both libpng and zlib can be built easily on a linux PC starting with running ./configure then 'make' then 'make install'. What is the procedure to bring in zlib and libpng and configure & build these libs for use my my app code in Code Composer Studio?

thanks,

Hello Keith,

Are these open source modules compiled for the ARM Cortex-R4F processor? If so, then you can work with the compiled object files just like you would work with any other library file (e.g. RTS library).

You can refer to the SPNU118 (processors.wiki.ti.com/.../ARM_Code_Generation_Users_Guides) document for more details on including specific sections from a compiled object library.

Regards,
Sunil

No, these are open source packages meant to be configured and run on Linux. ie, first run ./configure, then make, then make install.

Keith,

Do I understand correctly that you want to be able to use this open source graphics library in your application running on the RM48x MCU? In that case, you need to be able to compile this C source code into a library using Code Composer Studio by first defining a Cortex-R4 MCU as the target device.

Sunil
