Do you think it's worth uploading the package again with the above DLL bundled, or perphaps upload the DLL as a new, separate package? (FWIW, the second option seems cleaner to me; the library is optional for emacs and is developed separately from it) Also, I've noticed that the last version of that library seems to be 3.5.11 (see [1]), which is newer that the last version published in the emacs/windows folder [2], which is 3.5.8. So I've tried to build version 3.5.11 (downloaded from [1]) from the same MinGW environment I use to build Emacs; but it fails like this: $ ./autogen.sh autoreconf: Entering directory `.' autoreconf: configure.ac: not using Gettext autoreconf: running: aclocal -I m4 configure.ac:17: error: must install xorg-macros 1.8 or later before running autoconf/autogen configure.ac:17: the top level autom4te: /usr/bin/m4 failed with exit status: 1 aclocal-1.15: error: echo failed with exit status: 1 autoreconf: aclocal failed with exit status: 1 However, I can build version 3.5.8 (from [2]) just fine (from the same build environment): $ cd src $ make gcc -shared -o libXpm.dll libXpm.def Attrib.o create.o data.o CrIFrBuf.o hashtab.o Image.o Info.o misc.o parse.o RdFToI.o rgb.o simx.o -lgdi32 -lcrtdll Should we try to build version 3.5.11 or settle for v3.5.8? If the former, do you know how to build that version of the library for MS-Windows? TIA ---- [1] http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/lib/libXpm [2] ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/windows/ -- Dani Moncayo
