Let me make sure I understand. Without --with-gif, configure doesn't
find giflib. Do you have to specify --with-gif=/usr, or is --with-gif
enough?
Does running autoconf change the situation?
My first attempt was to try a cygwin-build so I installed
giflib-devel
unfortunately this requires X11, at least the headerfiles. Why does
giflib require X?
Because whoever configured your giflib chose to pass --enable-x11 to
the configure script. You'll have to talk to your upstream about
that. Giflib has the capability of converting an image in an X window
to a GIF, for example.
I gave up there. I don't want to install X under cygwin. Is there
some
way to solve this?
Can you install just the X headers and libraries? You don't need to
actually run a server.
Next thing to try is a native build. I'll do that in a day or
two.
Giflib does have Windows support, so I hope this will be a less
painful experience for you.
Thanks for the feedback!
