(Note to those who don't know: Perhaps a bit surprisingly, Win32 binaries for libiconv and gettext are distributed from FSF's ftp site. Even more surprising, they are build with MSVC, and only MS format import libraries are supplied.) Umm, sorry, I don't remember how I produced import libraries for those... Hmm, I do write on the downloads page that I used pexports and dlltool, so presumably I did, but I don't remember the details. Anyway, libiconv and libintl both export just a handful of functions, so just extract the list of exported functions with objdump or whatever, edit it into a .def file, and produce the import library with dlltool? > Maybe one of the GIMP>K/Win32 gods can enlighten a mere mortal on the > modifications that need to be done to build GIMP with MinGW? Well, I think you summarized it quite nicely. One shouldn't expect to necessarily be able to say "./configure; make install", but by doing it step by step in each subdirectory, it shouldn't be that hard. I use automake 1.7, autoconf 2.54 and libtool 1.5 with no personal modifications. --tml
