Unable to build pngquant using the release tar.gz file (2.12.1) #326

I downloaded the https://github.com/kornelski/pngquant/archive/2.12.1.tar.gz from the link shown on release page.

I untar and then run ./configure

Here is the error I got

  Compiler: gcc
     Debug: no
       SSE: yes
    OpenMP: no
If you're using git, do clone with --recursive, or download from https://github.com/ImageOptim/libimagequant
imagequant: error ... libimagequant.h not found in ./lib/

Could you re-release a tar file which fixes this issue?

No, archives auto-crated by github are garbage. They cannot be fixed. Don't use them.

Correct sources are only at https://pngquant.org/releases.html

Thanks! Also a big thank-you for developing and supporting this wonderful tool!

I am closing the ticket.
