How to build libpng using mingw

Question

I cannot find on Google any easy way to do this . I try this but make says "no target found an no makefile found. Stop". First I did was go into the directory of lpng162/scripts where I can found makefile for gcc but I am new to this makefiles and I don't have vstudio to build it easily. Please help. I cannot get it to work. I'm assuming this question to solved my other problems in linking this libpng16.lib into my .dll file. This is the only solution I can think of.

Answer 1

Anyways, I figured out how to do this makefile. I just go to lpng16/scripts and I found many makefiles there with a file extension. I choose the gcc because that's only familiar to me. I removed the name extension and put it in the directory where I can find the headers and source files then make. I don't know why they don't include this instruction in the manual or its just difficult to find it there. (just noob question)
