…nged parts of the libs. In contrast build scripts always remove the previous results and rebuild from scratch. 2. You may as before build all libraries at once with 'make' command or any specific library specifying corresponding target: `make libpng` or `make libjpeg`. 3. You may also use other standard make utility targets like clean or mostlyclean: `make mostlyclean`. 4. No need to store libs binaries in the repo anymore. Instead they are automatically downloaded if do not exist. 5. It much easier to update to a new versions of library: just change a corresponding version numbers in the beginning of the make file: PNG_NAME = libpng-1.6.18 JPEG_SRC_NAME = jpegsrc.v9a# filename at the server JPEG_DIR_NAME = jpeg-9a# folder name after the JPEG_SRC_NAME archive has been unpacked TIFF_NAME = tiff-4.0.4 and script will automatically download new sources and rebuild the lib. 6. So all the files from the following folders are in `.gitignore` from now: `jpeg-*`, `libpng-*` and `tiff-*`. 7. As the result all the lib sources can be purged from the repository to decrease it's size. Only the makefile is necessary from now to get the libraries fat binaries.

Hi @ashtons! I've tried this technique in the Tesseract-OCR-iOS. And it works perfect there. So I've decided to share this improvement with you. |

Makefile instead of build scripts. That allows to rebuild only changed parts of the libs. In contrast build scripts always remove the previous results and rebuild from scratch.

make libpngormake libjpeg.You may also use other standard make utility targets like clean or mostlyclean:

6. So all the files from the following folders are in
.gitignorefrom now:jpeg-*,libpng-*andtiff-*.7. As the result all the lib sources can be purged from the repository to decrease it's size. Only the makefile is necessary from now to get the libraries fat binaries.
