[Bf-committers] lib/linux64 and libpng-1.5

[Sergey Sharybin]

Hi,

No, this can not be done. In contrast with libraries for Windows/OSX
pre-compiled libraries for Linux are supposed to be used on older LInuxes
where compiling dependencies are really hard (like current Debian stable).
If pre-compiled libraries would be compiled against newer versions of their
dependencies it'll make that libraries useless for their original purpose.

On newer Linux distributives it's really easy to compile all the
dependencies or even use dependencies from repository. So please go ahead
and compile OIIO for your particular distributive.

P.S. There's a plan to get rid of pre-compiled Linux libraries as soon as
Debian Wheezy is released as stable. After this in all supporting
distributives all the dependencies would be much easier compilable than
continuing maintaining pre-compiled libraries from our side.
