Well, now you just did. Perhaps that will help him; my reading of his
words
>>> I installed cygwin including libpng.
took him at face value (or what seems to me to be face value) and I
proceeded from there to guess that he most likely knew about neither the
'pkg-config' mechanism nor the 'libpng-config' mechanism for getting the
'-I' and '-L .. -l' flags he might be missing in his build setup.
