LibPng problems
Author
A few weeks ago, as I was having trouble creating a PNG decoder, someone suggested that I should use LibPng, so I decided to give it a try this morning.
I''m following the procedure mention in their document for the high level interface but everytime I call png_read_png I get an Unhandle Exception code.
The code looks like this:
=========================================
BOOL bResult;
FILE* pFile = NULL;
pFile = fopen(lpFileName,"rb");
BYTE* pBuffer = NULL; // Buffer use to load the data
// Check Header
pBuffer = new BYTE[8];
fread (pBuffer,1,8,pFile);
bResult = png_sig_cmp (pBuffer,0,8);
delete []pBuffer;
png_structp pPngStruct = png_create_read_struct(PNG_LIBPNG_VER_STRING, NULL,NULL,NULL);
png_infop pInfo_ptr = png_create_info_struct(pPngStruct);
png_infop pEnd_info = png_create_info_struct(pPngStruct);
png_init_io(pPngStruct, pFile);
png_set_sig_bytes(pPngStruct, 8);
png_read_png(pPngStruct, pInfo_ptr, PNG_TRANSFORM_IDENTITY, NULL);
fclose (pFile);
=========================================
(NOTE: I''ve remove the error checking codes but I check if all my pointers are NULL before calling png_read_png)
I''ve tried a lot of stuff but I can''t seem to figure out why it''s not working, can anyone tell me what''s wrong with the code ? Do I absolutely need to add Row and Unknown Chunks callback functions ?
Thanks

Try this, it is an excerpt from my own code, and it does work.
Oh and after the code is done, pData contains the raw pixel data.

It didn''t work either.
Could it be related to the Lib Version (.LIB and .DLL) I''m using ? Is it possible that I''m not using the right one ?

It is always possible you are not using the right version of the lib 
Are you using libpng as a DLL? I statically link it, not sure if it would make a difference, it probably shouldn''t.
What exactly doesn''t work? Does the code crash? or what? Does it even compile? Have you tried writing the pData buffer straight to disk and loading into something like photoshop as a raw file?
Either way, give a few more specifics about how it is working and I might can help.
