== Description ==

From http://newcenturycomputers.net/projects/gdmodule.html: The GDmodule is an interface to the GD library written by Thomas Boutell. 'gd is a graphics library. It allows your code to quickly draw images complete with lines, arcs, text, multiple colors, cut and paste from other images, and flood fills, and write out the result as a PNG or JPEG file. This is particularly useful in World Wide Web applications, where PNG and JPEG are two of the formats accepted for inline images by most browsers.'

== Upstream Contact ==

 * See http://newcenturycomputers.net/projects/gdmodule.html for contact information.

== Dependencies ==

 * GNU patch
 * Python
 * libpng
 * gd
 * iconv

== Special Update/Build Instructions ==

 * Patch Setup.py: we link against libpng12 instead of libpng. There
   are also changes to the library handling on Cygwin, so this might
   need to be fixed.  Remove non-system include and library prefixes
   /sw and /usr/local.  If a different version of GD is installed
   in one of these directories, the gdmodule installer gets in trouble.

== Changelog ==

=== gdmodule-0.56.p8 (Robert Bradshaw, Jeroen Demeyer, 6 May 2012) ===

   /sw and /usr/local to look for include files or libraries.

   have been moved to Setup.py.patch
